Invalid startup directory error
Posted Apr 14 2009
When I try to load QuickBasic, it gives me the error:

F:\qb45\QB.EXE
Invalid startup directory, please check your pif file.  Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

So what am I doing wrong?

Are you using a shortcut that came with Qbasic?

Does the PC have an F drive? Does the folder Qb45 exist there?

If not, then create a new shortcut by right clicking QB.exe and selecting Create Shortcut. Add / L after QB.EXE in the command line of the shortcut to run the Library also.

Delete the old shortcut!

Running the Library
Posted Apr 14 2009
Absolute and Interrupt need to have the Library running in QB4.5.

In a shortcut or batch file use QB.EXE /L .
Make sure there is a space AFTER QB.EXE!
