Not trying to be rude here...
But you are in MCSD newsgroup !!!!

just curious.. did not know that people still used QBasic...
oh well if it was a part of DOS... maybe you should consider installing
DOS...
could even try your luck with Windows 95.

Alternatively you could look up google for QBasic interpreters !!!

Go to:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;135315

There's a whole bunch of ldownloads at the bottom of the page.
Look for the download for olddos.exe - click on it to download.
(it's a whopping 836kb).

Once downloaded, make sure you have olddos.exe in an empty
folder. Double click to run it. Running it expands a bunch of old
dos utilities into the folder. Among these are QBASIC.EXE and
QBASIC.HLP, the 2 files you need to run QBasic.

Double-click QBASIC.EXE to run QBasic in a DOS window.

If you need any help with QBasic, www.qbasic.com is a good resource.

Hope this helps.
