My friend has this problem with her new Laptop. She cannot use Turbo C++ on the Windows Vista OS. Can anyone suggest a solution for this ? Thanks Ishan
Install the software DOSBox ver 0.72 ( 1.2 MB ) (Freeware) from the link below (Direct Link) http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dosbox/DOSBox0.72-win32-installer.exe?download Code (markup): Before going to the details u have to create a folder (any name will do). Here we name it as Turbo Copy the TC into the Turbo folder Run the DOSBox 0.72 from the icon located on the desktop or from the location of the installation folder Then u are presented with two screens which look like the command prompt in Windows Now u are presented with two screens. One with a Z prompt. U can ignore the other screen. There type the following commands at the command prompt [Z]: Mount [Type in any alphabet that u wish except z] [Type the source of the turbo C] press enter Now , Type in the following commands after the Z prompt: Z: mount d c:\Turbo\ [The folder TC is present inside the folder Turbo] * Now u should get a message which says: Drive D is mounted as a local directory c:\Turbo\ *** Now type d: to shift to d: prompt . D: cd TC [The contents inside the folder Turbo gets mounted as a virtual drive (Here D drive) D: cd Bin D: TC or Tc.exe [This presents u the Turbo C++3.0 screen] On the Turbo C++ goto Options>Directories>Change the source of TC to the source directory [D] ( i.e. virtual D: refers to original c:\Turbo\ . So make the path change to something like D:\TC\include and D:\TC\lib respectively ) =========================================================== In order to get the full screen use the key combination of Alt and Enter When u exit from the DosBox [precisely when u unmount the virtual drive where Turbo C++ 3.0 has been mounted] all the files u have saved or made changes in Turbo C++ 3.0 will be copied into the source directory(The directory which contains TC folder) It is a good idea to backup your files in the source directory prior to running DOSBox 0.72 For additional help go through the readme file located in the installation folder or look on the website of the DOSBox forum. The above procedure has been successfully implemented on Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit IMP : Don't use shortcut keys to perform operations in TC because they might be a shortuct key for DOSBOX also . Eg : Ctrl+F9 will exit DOSBOX rather running the code .
Good information by Mr. Mahesh. Btw you can use DEV C++ that is also 100% free, and is more compliant with C/C++ standards. download from "http://www.bloodshed.net". At many institutes all around globe TC has been discarded and DEV C++ has been chosen, the reason is standards and compatibility with more OS's and more user frieldnly native application. regards
Actually why you don't use the VC++ 2008 Express Edition which is also 100% free and i believe most powerful free IDE so far. HTH Regards
A lot of schools still teach programming with TurboC. Unfortunate, but true. So the student may not have any other choice but to use it. If that's not the case here, then I too would strongly recommend using a more modern compiler/IDE because Turbo C (the old MS-DOS version) doesn't support C language very well. There is a new 32-bit version of Turbo C that was released just a couple years or so ago, but I don't know if its compatible with Vista or not either.

i ran turbo c++ in my windows vista using dosboxx.though the TC application starts but whenever i create a program and compile it,it shows an error saying-NOT ABLE TO INCLUDE <STDIO.H>..please help how to overcome this problem.
Install Microsoft Virtual PC which is 100% free. 1. Download and install it on Vista 2. Use new virtual machine wizard 3. Reserve 4 GB of hard disk and about 128 MB memory 4. Now you can install Windows XP to this configuration The reserved space on your hard disk will be seen as a file for Vista. Once you have Windows XP running on top of Vista, you know what to do next with Turbo C If you need to have Linux on Windows or vise-versa, use Virtual Box. See Install an OS on another OS
hello all i made an application for running TC on the latest version of windows (both x86 and x64) here is the link : http://ustmb.ir/Projects/TurboC_Fixer_Installer.exe Code (markup): i would appreciate any feedback hope you like this
