Hi to all...

I just tried to recover a quite old project that I wrote with QuickBasic 7.1.

I've installed QB in my Windows 2000 Pro system.

The program:
FOR I=1 TO 10
PRINT I
NEXT I

works ok. But if I add an END or STOP statement I get a Windows memory access error:

ntvdm.ex - Application error
The instruction at .... referenced memory at.... blah, blah.

If I replace the "PRINT" by a call to a SUB that just prints, the behaviour is the same. It runs as long as there's no STOP or END.
However, if a call a FUNCTION, the app crashes with the same error, on the EXIT FUNCTION line...

Any idea, any one?

Thanks a lot in advance to you all and best regards from rainy Madrid.

yea dont use Win2k Pro :wink:. Its ntvdm is really f*cked up. Try using DOSBOX instead, its an alternative to ntvdm.

really? i don't think so, dosbox is slow as hell due to the fact that it's a software emulator that really interprets every single machincode...

DOSbox 0.62 is much faster than previous versions and even allowed me to play commercial DOS games fine with it
