QB7 + ISAM + VISTA

Post by MikeGreen »

Hi.

I am a QuickBasic7 and ISAM user in Windows XP. I invoke ISAM using a pif file.

Can I use QB7 and ISAM in VISTA?


Thanks,

MG..

SCREEN 0 (the default window mode) should work.

Other graphic full screen modes will not in 64 bit!

Try visiting QB64.net for 64 bit PC's. The Compiler will not have all of the QB7 (PDS)functions, but it can compile QB code to C++ code that will work on Vista!

Plus you can create larger modules and use more memory. PDS may not even be required.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Are you saying that ISAM will work in VISTA as well? That would be great.

I don't think ISAM should be a problem. Most of VISTA's problems have to do with the video drivers.

Most people believe that Vista's problems are simply in its existence...

btw, QB64-win works great on my FreeBSD box through WINE.
