They're all the same, they are all slow in XP, its the way XP is designed, you probably want 4.5 or 7

The VBDOS 1.0 Professional or Standard version
is also worth trying to find .
you possibly might look at VBDOS 1.0 as
QuickBasic version 8.0 ?????
its sort of the best of both worlds of DOS - Windows
in VBDOS1.0 you can still run QuickBasic code basically as is...then you have option of Visual Basic commands
and look , with built-in Mouse functions

Yes, thats your best bet, I have many computer, but I do almost all of my programming on my trusty old 486 and 8088s.
version 4.5 or 1.1 would be best, it depends on what you want to do with them.

In any version of Windows beyond 98 expect to see some problems when it comes to running QuickBasic. I've got Windows 2000 and almost nothing QB works under it anymore...
I use Calldera DR-DOS for all of my QB stuff. I've got an EXE that makes DR-DOS a bootfloppy. I also have the Mouse.Com device driver that IBM shipped with their so I can use the mouse in the IDE and the QB programs.
