Error with Qbasic in Windows XP? Well I've got the real solution!

[nazgand]

dude theres a simple overide solution search the WINDOWS folder for AUTOEXEC.NT and copy it to C:\WINDOWS\System32 and voila!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Qbasic will work. Now if you want Qbasic 7.1 or a copy of AUTOEXEC.NT email me at :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :mrgreen:

What if a program required autoexec.nt to run? Would you then have to change the path in the new program to System32? The Autoexec.nt is a system file and should be kept where it is MrWhy has a safe idea of modifying Autoexec.nt check his threads out.

The way I read it, he is not deleting the file from the original location, just
adding it to the system32 subfolder/directory so I wouldn't think there would be a problem with other programs.

This version tells all available options then hang on.
The only solution is ctrl-alt-del.
What's going wrong ?

[nazgand]

You should post in a new thread, and not bump old threads.
