Graphics Problems

[ComDriver]

When in qbasic I try to use the PSET command or any other drawing command for that reason the black screen comes up shows me the drawing but I can't exit the screen, could someone please help.

P.s. I have to keep pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete.

That makes little sense.

Is the source code small enough to post?

Which version of Windows are you using? Sounds like a problem I have with Windows 2000 - anything that changes the graphics mode in the NTVDM ends up freezing.

I'm using windows xp home edition and the source code is-

Code:

SCREEN 12
PSET (30,50)
END

You are going to full screen.

To exit full screen press ALT+ENTER. To enter full screen from desktop press ALT+ENTER as well when the MSDOS box has the focus.

QB is a MSDOS program. It should be ran in full screen.

When in full screen mode qbasic 4.5 does not respond to me whatsoever, it does not let me use a mouse or keyboard.

Joy of XP+DOS programs...

Well, if you feel up to it, I suggest you learn freeBASIC instead, it's almost the same as QB, but Windows instead of DOS. Very flexible and quite easy to pick up.

Does QB display a "Press any key to continue..." message after you run it?

Maybe pressing a key would help...

[ComDriver]

Yes, it does and I'm niot stupid but you have misread my earlier messages it will not take input from the keyboard or mouse, I repeat it will not take input from the keyborad or mouse.

service pack 2? It's been known to kill qbasic in some cases.
