dosbox shud work as it sez it supports graphics n sound drivers from windows....but none of my progs r gettin executed...it trips out aftr comliling just at time f execution....

Dunno whats the problem with your config, on my lappy with intel gma 915 graphics and default installation of dosbox, its running fine. Which graphics solution you are using, by the way?

And yes, please also make sure you are giving the correct path of BGI library.

One minute, are you mounting your c:\tc\bin directory as c drive? Oh that wont work, sorry about my previous post. mount c:\tc as drive c or better c:\ as drive c and then give the proper path to initgraph, ex c:\\tc\\bgi

Hope this will solve your problem.
 
Talking about compatibility, i feel that its increasing. And with new versions of software coming out very fast that are fully compatible with Vista, the compatibility problems are not going to last. Ya, as i wrote before, i too was at first sight was very, kind of unhappy to see some of my really close to heart programs not working properly in Vista (i must mention HTMLGate html editor, its not in development now and its last version quits with an error at startup on Vista). But then, the weightage i give to the security, stability, performance and innovation that i personally feel i am getting with vista, the wise move was to move on. And there came the express editions of Visual Web Developer 05 and then 08. All my problems were solved. These are really good, standard compliant HTML and javascript editors and with vs 08 express you also have full Javascript intellisense, so why will needs anything else anyway. Secondly, since i have professionally shifted to .NET, i mean the ASP.NET+AJAX+Silverlight combo for web development, these things work great, although at work i use full version of VS, obiviously. And by the way for PHP development the version of PHP Designer by the same company works very well with Vista, and there are other great products for that as well. As a sidenote, most of the problems that i had with my programs were solved by running them in admin or WinXP SP2 compat mode.

Do not want to hijack the thread, but

1. Anyone know the latest retail / OEM price (in India) for Vista home premium ?

2. For normal use, home premium is quite ok ?

1.- *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=603048&postcount=2

Though they have further cut the price. Its 5K, I guess.

2. Yes. It has got almost all the stuff for general home use. However don't go for Home Basic.

Thank you for the info. Yes, I saw Choto_Cheeta's post, but thought it might be changed as the post was on 12-09-2007. So it will be 5K now ? Hmm, not very bad.

^^ You didn't hijack :) It was actually related to topic.
The price is for OEM.

*theitwares.com/misc/misc.htm

It says Rs. 5200. I am not sure if the price cut has shown effect in India.

who the hell will want to spend 10k for Vista when you can get a great graphics card or a quad core processor for the same price ?:confused:
