I am trying to get GWBasic to run on a new Dell Dimension C521 (AMD processor) desktop with XP Home Edition. It generates "You can not SHELL to BASIC" when at the DOS prompt. A shortcut to it flashes a window up then closes it. It works all right on my new Dell notebook computer (I forget if it is AMD or Intel based) with XP Home. I have found solutions for Compaq computers (a software patch) and other people asking but no solutions. Any ideas?
