Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers () We (no 1 Son) and I are having a problem with Qbasic. Qbasic version 4.5 Programs that do not contain the 'SCREEN' instruction, run OK, and the output can be printed out via 'PrtScn' and pasting the clipboard into. If the program contains the 'SCREEN' instruction to enable fine positioning of graphics, we are unable to get a printout by any means. The problem is confined (we think) to Windows XP. We are able to get printouts if using Windows 98/Me/2000 Can anyone help us. We have a specimen program, if you think you can help. Have used different printers, different programs to paste into.

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers () There's really not much you can do, except rewrite the program in a Windows XP friendly programming language - one of the dotNet varieties. It all started with WinNT, MS in order to make the OS more stable, began removing the ability for a program to directly manipulate hardware, as time went on Win2k began less tolerable to direct hardware manipulations, and now with WinXP/2k3, there is almost (none that I'm aware) hardware manipulations allowed by an application. The new approach for graphics type manipulation would be to use a DirectX or 3D Windows API (in one of the dotNet languages) - in other words, your application makes its request to Windows and Windows actually tells the hardware what to do. -- Star Fleet Admiral Q @ your Service!

XP doesn't support some functions in q/quick basic, such as opening the com port as a file. You may want to try the free justbasic program as it is more XP friendly.
