Trying to run GWBasic on a Compaq/Windows ME computer. No matter how I
launch GWBasic, I get this message. GWBasic is present, I'm pathing
correctly, and I have tried replacing the .exe in case I had file
corruption. No change.

I recall hearing that if the computer has GWbasic installed in ROM, this
error can occur. Anybody know a workaround?

TIA

I believe it is saying it cannot run in a DOS windows. Are you at least
make the DOS window full size (Alt-ENTER) first?

Compaq has a known compatibility issue with GWBASIC. So, if your pc is a
Compaq, you have to install a fix. You can find it and the proper
install instructions in:

http://www.compaq.com/support/file [...] d/200.html

Otherwise nothing occurs to me as a possible solution for this problem.

GW-Basic is not running on Compaq PC. Why? this is a question.
I am searching the reason from last 6 years. I am technical person working in Hardware/software/Networking, and I want to know the solution of this problem in Compaq.
