Pete's QBASIC Site

This is the most stupid thing that I discovered in my life.
There are my people on internet who say that they cant open QB4.5 because of this error:

And I found a solution! You get this error when you have a shortcut of QB4.5 made by right click on QB4.5.exe, shortcut is created by itself.
If you delete that shortcut everything will work.
But I don't know why but when you create shortcut by clicking create shortcut everything works fine.
If you don't believe me try it!

(first try then comment)

Are you saying that you tried to use a shortcut that came with a Qbasic download?

Chances are it will not work as it points to a non -existing folder.

Always delete downloaded shortcuts! Make your own new ones. I also suspect that Windows works better knowing where a DOS program is really located.

I am sorry but do i need to quote my self?

How would I know it if I didn't try it by myself?

Hmmmmm. I see what you are saying, but I never had that problem. I HAD to click Make Shortcut in the right click pop up menu.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind, but most people never tell you what they did wrong lol. In fact, they actually did not do anything wrong.

BTW, you can go to the shortcut's command line and add a space /L after QB.EXE to include the Library.
