>I installed TurboC++ version 3.0 in my computer
Okay.

>which runs a WindowsXP OS....
It might start without crashing, but a lot of old programs start on Windows XP and don't work correctly due to their age.

>The same Turboc++ works well in other computers with the exact configuration as mine..
Then they don't have the exact same configuration or you're not running it the same way. Do these other computers use Windows XP as well? Have you tried reinstalling the compiler?

>I know that Turboc++ is an ancient compiler, but my situation demands

>change to some other compiler...
You know, you could just say that you're being forced to use that compiler instead of being a jerk about it.

You could try right-clicking the executable, then select properties. Go to the compatibility-tab and select 'windows 95'. This may or may not work, I never used Turbo in WinXP.

Haha, agreed

Niek

I, as well, use Turbo (cause that's the one used @ the university [thing i don't actually like...]), and i installed it correctly and with no issues on two of my computers, which run, one Windows XP OS, and Windows Vista OS, and there's no problem for me using it... so i don't thing is the ancientness of the program...

are you sure you installed it correctly? have you tried installing it again?

ooohh, yeah... i liked that... lol

Yes I am in agreement it should run fin on a XP OS. Must have been a problem with the install I would try to reinstall it.

hey niek_e! ur idea of changing the compatibility mode didn't work, but i went to the properties and changed the full screen mode to window mode which allows me to use it...

but still what could have be the problem with a full screen?!?!?

and guys i installed and re-installed it several times still no solution to it...


and yes, plainly saying, i am forced to work in turbo c++ coz my university is still stuck with that.!!!!

You can install turbo c++ again .more instreuctions at turbocprogramming.googlepages.com

I have done that loads of times without any luck...

Again just for your sake, i tried this too... STILL not working..

And FYI, I don't need to use TC anymore, but if i ever happen to find out the reason, i will surely let everyone know.
