Hi, Mac
Thanks for your reply.
However, my present problem is not Vista, but XP.
My qbasic program is behaving differently in two systems running the same XP version, same display size and same language setup.
In my old Thinkpad notebook, text and graphic windows run fine. (this is also true for a pentium 4 toshiba notebook).Â
In my new desktop, however, although text and graphic windows run fine, any text inside a graphic window comes up illegible, garbage, with strange characters.
Can you help me with that? By the way, the exe files are identical in both cases and the properties are also exactly the same.
As to Vista, forget a graphic qbasic windows. It does not work and dos-box does not help either. As to the size of a text window, just change to 10x18 raster fonts for 88x600 display, experiment, or lucida console fonts 20 to 22 and you will get a much larger window.Â
