Problem with QuickBasic 7.1
Problem with QuickBasic 7.1
Hi
Anyway, I'm having problem with running QuickBasic 7.1 on my Windows XP SP2 machine. I never had problems with it until i buyed new keyboard and now I get this error and when I try to type in code, letters are all strange (for example : I press letter "U" and it writes down letter : "B" or some nubmer or weird sign).
This is error message :
"One or more CON code pages invalid for given keyboard code".
Can anyone help me?
Thank you.

Does the keyboard work OK in Windows?
Sounds like the keyboard is not a standard keyboard for your language settings.

You can type your code in notepad, save it with a .bas extension, then open it up in QB.
It might give you the same problems, but in command prompt, type edit and you'll get an editor similar to QB's. Blue and ascii and all. But it isn't a compiler, so you'll still have to save with .bas .

Thanks.
It sounds much harder than it looks. I think QB will open up a file if you put it's name next to run QB as a parameter, then run it.

Run edit from the command line and see if the problem still exist there. if it does it means your DOS-keyboard setting aren't okay and you'll need to set them manually or you could just install dosbox.

Let me guess. You already threw the old keyboard away! If not, try it and see what happens. Otherwise FORGET ABOUT IT! You are apparently too stubborn to try another one!

There could be another problem. I sometimes have the same. Make sure you a US keyboard and not UK keyboard. And also check which kind of driver is installed, a US or UK. Because my laptop is UK-based, as it came from there, but when I use DOSBOX, I have to change the keyboard layout to UK because it standard uses US-layout.
Btw what country are you in? Because there's lot of countries which use QWERTY-keyboards but where the numeric stuff and other signs are diffrent.

Try to find out if your keyboard is Croatian or Brithish because SHIFT + 2 making " is the same on my keyboard.
I'm checking some stuff out. There is a possiblity that you need to set your keyboard in DOS to Croatian... the commandline I mean by that... not DosBOX... Lemme see... apparently there's no way to do that in the command line...
For DOSBOX you could try KEYB yu.

Well shift + 2 works for " sign everywhere except in QBASIC IDE.Seb McClouth wrote:Try to find out if your keyboard is Croatian or Brithish because SHIFT + 2 making " is the same on my keyboard.
