Dear Mac,
One possibility, which hasn't yet been mentioned is setting up your
computer to 'dual boot'. I can't recollect clearly, now, exactly the
steps I followed to do it, but it involved creating a separate partition
for XP and using some Microsoft software. At startup, you can choose
which system you wish to use.
I've also done something equivalent creating a virtual system.
Again, one creates separate partitions and uses proprietary software.
The advantage of this avenue is that you can run two systems at once.
best wishes,
Peter

Hello Friends,
I've just bought a PC which runs Windows 7 (Home Premium) 64-bit.
Despite what the sales Tech said, it doesn't seem to deal with QBASIC at
all.
There were some postings a while ago about using sundial software with
Windows 7, but looking through the archives I didn't find anything about
QBASIC and Windows 7.
If anyone knows of a reasonably simple way to use QBASIC on a 64-bit
Windows 7 PC, please let me in on the secrets as soon as possible, for
the PC is still returnable for full refund.
Thanks,
Mac
P.S. It would also be very useful to hear from anyone who knows (or is
pretty sure) that there is no hope of running QBASIC on my new PC.
