On 15 Nov 2004 Bill Gates downloaded a "fix" to my Win XP (without informing me)
From then on XP no longer allowed me to run BASIC

I have been writing ALL my progs in BASIC for 30 years so this is catastrophic.

Has anyone ideas who to contact who might help.

Visual basic is horrendous!
HPBasic runs, but it is primeaval - ONE LINE editor etc sets you back 30 years!
