Running Old Apps on XP

J

Josh

I'm running two applications on XP:

The first program was written in QBasic. Using Windows
XP, it does run, HOWEVER, the screen looks very odd.
Using a Windows 98 computer, I can see the screen in its
entirety and it's spread out through the entire screen
like it's suppose to. In Windows XP, the screen appears
to be only half size, covering only the top-half of the
screen. In otherwords, the screen looks resized.

The second program is a program written in Dbase 4. It is
having the same issue, whereas when you run the program,
it shows on only half of the screen, thus resizing it.

Basically I'm asking how to stretch out he window so it
appears on the entire screen, instead of only half of it.
Note that I did try using the Windows Compatibility mode,
but that did not work.

Any solutions to this program are welcome. Please send me
an E-mail at (e-mail address removed). Thanks.

Hi

Neither QBasic or DBase 4 will run properly under XP. You will have to dual boot with Win9x to use those 2 programs properly.
