Well, Visual Basic associates BAS files to itself, like MS Word associates DOC files to itself. That means that if you double click a BAS file it will open in Visual Basic, nothing more. QB is not fully compatible with VB so hence the error.
You can download any QB version at my site: http://www.download-qb.tk . They all work in Windows XP. I recommend getting v. 4.5 as it is the most supported, but PDS 7.1 or VBDOS 1.0 are way better. QBasic 1.1 (the one who comes with MSDOS/Windows 9X) is just a ripped off and slowed down version of QB 4.5 without the compiler, so it just can run BAS files but not produce EXE files (executables).
