When I try to use QB45 it says Invalid startup Directory, please check
your pif file. I am not to good with this so I sure could use some advice.

DELETE the shortcut file! It is not set up for your computer paths.
Right click QB.EXE or QBASIC.EXE and choose Create Shortcut. Windows will create a NEW PIF file for you in that folder. You can copy that to the desktop or any other folder.
If you are using QB4.5 you can include the Library by setting the path in the PIF file's Properties by addin a space and /L to the end of the command line.
IF Qbasic cannot find files it needs, it will ask you for a module path. You can set the present folder paths in the Options Menu of QB4.5 if that happens. Keep all QB program files in the SAME place!

You could also try running it out of
DOSBox, a DOS emulator. This will allow you to run it just like you could with a real DOS machine, including use of ASM GFX.
