"You can not SHELL to BASIC"
Trying to run GWBasic on a Compaq/Windows ME computer. No matter how I
launch GWBasic, I get this message. GWBasic is present, I'm pathing correctly, and I have tried replacing the .exe in case I had file corruption. No change. I recall hearing that if the computer has GWbasic installed in ROM, this error can occur. Anybody know a workaround? TIA |

I believe it is saying it cannot run in a DOS windows. Are you at least
make the DOS window full size (Alt-ENTER) first? "chlange" wrote in message lkaboutcomputing.com... Trying to run GWBasic on a Compaq/Windows ME computer.

Compaq has a known compatibility issue with GWBASIC. So, if your pc is a Compaq, you have to install a fix. You can find it and the proper install instructions in: http://www.compaq.com/support/files/...nload/200.html Otherwise nothing occurs to me as a possible solution for this problem. -- supernandu |
