How to run QuickBasic programs in Windows 7

What to do when you upgrade from DOS to Win7

By | PC Advisor | 03 November 10

QUESTION I've decided to replace my Windows 98 PC with a Windows 7 machine, but I'm concerned about transferring Microsoft's QuickBasic suite, which I frequently use. In Windows 7 I'll have to reboot in DOS each time I want to use any of these programs. Is converting to VisualBasic the only solution? Frank Courtney
