Problem in running C++ in Windows Vista

[Hitterman]

I recently bought a new laptop with "Windows Vista Home Basic". When I tried to run c++, the program showed an error "Error running in full screen mode". When I pressed "Ignore", the program executed successfully but in windowed mode.

Any suggestions to make it run in full screen mode?

Your problem is quite simple.Vista doesn't support full screen for DOS application.ou can increase it's size though.

No the size is fixed and it's not changing. I have also tried compatibility mode but nothing is working.

It has to be due to the Windows Vista Version. I remember doing stuff in Turbo C in Vista Ultimate, in full screen.

I suppose you need Vista Business, or Ultimate for this to succeed.

That's nearly impossible for me. Is there anyway by which I can run it in Fullscreen mode in Windows Vista Home Basic?

I don't think so I have that much money to buy a new Vista Genuine. Canyou do any registry magic Abhas?:hpraise

Even in Vista ultimate it has problems. Your best bet is to use the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler or some DEV C++.

I am not a professioanl programmer but I tried for VC++ 2008. Can you tell me one thing please?

In VC++, what we use instead of "clrscr();" i.e Clear screen ?
Does VC++ allow clear screen or not?

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

We use clrscr() only. I've tried that and I didn't find any problem. You sure you included Conio?

 

[Hitterman]

I am 100% sure. I tried this code in VC6.0.

# include <iostream.h>
# include <conio.h>
void main()
{
clrscr();
getch();
}

I selected for a "C++ Source File ".

Does it produce any errors?
