lol Ya!
That's if you want FreeBASIC, which is really good.
IF you want QuickBASIC ummm....Search for "QB4.5 + download" on google.

Freebasic is a compiler, not an editor...you can type your programs in VonGodric's IDE or in your fav text editor then you call FBC.EXE <your file name here> to compile the bas file into an executable.

Oh, thats because you got a bad one without all the libs, you didn't unpack all the libs, your QB IDE is in a directory with/out the libs it needs to compile, or your IDE is linked to a folder with-out the right libs...
Either way, you need to redownload and unpack right, or find one of the errors I put above and correct it..

I think he means the window that pops up that says what file to write the exe to.
If that is, just say a file name you want to make (.exe extesion) also check the stand alone .exe check box. Then click make .exe.
