816758 2009-10-04 04:09:00 I've recently set up a new PC for Dad running Vista Home Premium - is there any way to get Qbasic to run full-screen in it? I'm thinking that the problem could be the native resolution on his 22" screen (1920x1080) is too much for the app to handle?

One solution would be to set up a VM, but I'd prefer to get it running natively if possible. QBasic itself does run windowed, but half of the programs he wrote won't.

Any suggestions?

816760 2009-10-04 05:38:00 Sounds like a VM job to me...

You could even go for a full-on flashback to MS-DOS! :D
