MS-DOS - COMMAND

Hi! I am using Windows Vista Basic on my laptop. I am currently taking a
Miracle C course and I am using a compiler to do my homework. The problem I
am having is when I execute my code, my COMMAND Box closes right away. I
have went to the MS-DOS properties and unchecked the close after execute box,
but it still closes. Anyone have any other ideas on how to prevent this?

Thanks!

Scott

Open a command prompt manually. You will find it in Start | All Programs |
Accessories

You may have to start it with administrator privileges for your operations
to proceed correctly.

Try to open the Command prompt and then navigate to your folder with
the C and work from there..

Thanks, but it still closes when I execute. Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Trying to use a (any) compiler in Vista Basic will not work. You need either Vista Business or Vista Ultimate.

The command box will obviously keep closing on you since V Basic cannot handle those commands

Have you tried this on a computer running an older version of Windows? I
think the problem is with either the compiler or the program you are trying
to compile. If the compiled program has a problem it may be crashing causing
the command prompt to close. It may also be that the output from the
compiler or even the complier itself is not compatible with Vista. What
compiler are you using?

As someone who's just installed and begun using Liberty Basic on WinXP that
doesn't sound very good.

Can this (compilers won't work in Vista Basic) be confirmed?
