Oracle VM virtualbox is too much sloooowwwww and can't really be used. I upgrade by Windows 10 Home to Pro so i can install Hyper-V (dont forget to enable Virtualization in your BIOS !). It's great and faster !

"H.de Vries" write me because when he try to install the pack on his drive "D:" it doesn't works !
He has an error message "Cannot run GFA-BASIC! See Readme-file for further assistance"
After some email exchange i found where is the pb: the file
"GFABASIC.INI" in "C:/WINDOWS/" contains the path for the GFA interpreter:
"Interpreter=C:\PROGRA~1\PACKGF~1.1\GFABASIC\GFA-WIN.438\GFAWIN37.EXE"
You have just (by using Notepad) to change "C:" in "D:" (or the letter of the drive where you have installing the pack),
then it works ! Thanks to him !

Add 5 sources code (3D Bouncing Balls, 3D Cube, Chaos Dungeon, Wave, Worms)
21/08/10
Add file "GFARUN10.DLL" patched for XP in "C:/Windows/"

In some cases, click on "Ignore" allows the program to run properly, but the error message continues to appear when you start 16-bit programs. Run Regedit then open the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers\VDD. In some cases this VDD key no more exist. If it exists, click to select it, then right click, choose "Delete". Then you must then recreate it: In the "Edit" menu, point to "New" and click on "Multi-String Value." Type "VDD" in the "Value Name", then confirm with "Enter" |

If when you try to run a program, a dialog box containing the error "Can not run 16-bit Windows Program" appears on the screen, here's how to fix this problem due to non functioning of the creation of short file names: Indeed, some programs, even recent, require the creation of short file names in order to remain compatible with the maximum of operating systems. To re-create the current filenames and correct this problem, you must modify the registry. Run Regedit then open the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ System\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ FileSystem. Double click the value NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation then enter 0 in the Data text box value Confirm with OK, close the Registry Editor and restart your computer to apply the change If you are not familiar with the registry, you can simply run this small file that will automatically do the modificiation above! |

Windows 7 X64 et les systèmes antérieur 64 bits (XP/Vista X64) ne prennet pas en charge les applications 16 bits, seules les applications 32 bits et 64 fonctionnent correctement. Les version Pro et intégrale de windows 7 permettent de lancer les programmes 16 bits, en mode XP... Si vous avez une autre version de Windows 7, je vous invite à utiliser Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, qui vous permettra d'installer Windows XP sur votre ordinateur et donc d'utiliser le GFA Basic Windows sur Windows 7 64 bits ! Ce "PC Virtuel" s'ouvrira dans une fenètre, à la manière d'un émulateur. Bien entendu il faudra installer le système d'exploitation qui vous interesse pour l'utiliser ! |
