qb graphics in windows 7.

[csc]

Can we execute QB graphics in Windows ? I am using QB45 in windows 7. Used instructions in Windows 7 about running DOS programs to get started , no VMplayer or DOSbox . I don't seem to have DOS6.0 either. I have no problem except for graphic statements.Is there any setting that I missed ?

Is Windows 7 32 bit? NTVDM is not available on 64 bit versions. If so, did you make shortcuts to the programs on the Desktop? I think they need to be compiled as EXE files to run graphics. Also try to run in Compatibility XP mode. Let me know what you get. I've been wondering if QB will work on 32 bit Windows 7.

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply . I was stupid in my .BAS . I didn't put SCREEN 2 statement before WINDOW .... (Of course SCREEN 0 before END.) When I did this the program worked beautifully.
I got the clue from your post on ' how to get full screen... '
I would like to share some things I learnt in tackling this . Yes my machine is 32 bit and has windows 7 home basic . It has NTVDM. I put a short cut to QB.EXE on the desktop . I found some nice things from the Properties of the Shortcut. On the 'Screen' tab there is an option 'Full Screen' . On the compatibility tab unchecked 'compatibility with XP' option. Can run BAS with SHIFT+F5.
More power to Quick !http://petesqbsite.com/phpBB3/posting.p ... f=1&t=3812#
