graphics with QB45

I program a lot in Quick Basic 45, but on my new wide screen laptop I am
blocked from using a graphics screen, with the diagnostic: system does not
support full screen operation (or close to this; it specifies my qb45 setup
as a 16-system, and I know that the Vista Home Basic has a 32-system, etc.).
Does anyone know of any way to use a SCREEN statement in qb45 here to get
around this so that I can still use my qb45 software?

Look into Cheesecake BASIC 3.0. It is a true compiler and will run all your
QB graphics.
The souurce is avaiable (in Cheescake BASIC!) and it's free.

So far, C:\CCBASIC does not run qb45 programs with graphics in Windows Vista Home Basic. This is so even if you make a stand alone .exe file instead and try running that (get same diagnostic). So maybe (e-mail address removed) will make some comments soon.

The final result found, to finish this thread, was to convert all qb45
programming to the modern PUREBASIC (not much work). No form of CCBASIC does
things right for the 32-bit Windows, and was found not to be a solution here
for the graphics. Larry
