use Dosbox. It is the only way to run 8bit and 16bit programs like Turbo C in Windows 7

Download DOSBox DOS Emulator from SourceForge.net

Follow the above link and download the file. Follow the instructions bundled.

Re: windows 7 x64 dosbox-turbo c problem

^ You've given far less information. First where did you mount the dosbox's C Secondly where is your TC installed?
I suggest you to perform the TC installation inside dosbox, make sure, you create a self contained folder pointed by the virtual C: in DOSBOX.

As a side note I suggest to stay clear of the Turbo C compiler.

Re: windows 7 x64 dosbox-turbo c problem

You have mounted the turbo c directory in U: within dosbox... So, when you are running turbo c, it should have reference to the U: drive and not the h: drive... If you correct it, it should work...

But again, as mentioned by Liverpool_fan, avoid turbo c as it is not standard...

You may try Codeblocks which basically offers an integrated IDE with MinGW.
Code::Blocks
Download it here - *prdownload.berlios.de/codeblocks/codeblocks-10.05mingw-setup.exe

Which apps are you opening? Did you set the path for minGW?

Code::Blocks
Download it here - BerliOS Download - The Open Source Mediator

i opened minigw.exe inside the bin folder i suppose...
(its in my laptop i'm using a desktop now)

one thing didn't get downloaded...wonder what

and no i didn't set the path.....i've seen the steps in the tutorial
but tell me why do we do that..i didn't understand it...

You don't double click the mingw.exe file. It's a text based application.
You first open the Command Prompt and then type the command, gcc or g++.
Basically you set the path because you need to run the gcc, g++ programs without specifying the full path.
I see you are not very experienced with command line. I guess Codeblocks would be perfect for you.
I can download Codeblocks BTW, try it again.

Re: windows 7 x64 dosbox-turbo c problem

yup i'm weak in command line...
ok i'll try code blocks..
thank you
