All set on the Windows 8.
Liked it very much but there is one more major problem. This time its for we people, that means the PROGRAMMERS.
Actually the problem is that i am a computer student and spend my most of time on turbo C or C++.
And as it is 16 bit application there is no support for it. So i am unable to use it in full screen mode which is a major problem for me.
I cant leave C programming just because of windows 8, and also i want to be on Windows 8.
I am in a dillema...what to do???
Following are the major problems:
1. WINDOWS 8 APPLICATION SUPPORT FOR 16BIT PROGRAMS:
On installing TURBO C windows prompt that it is a 16 bit application, do you want to enable 16bit support for this application, but enabling it also doesn't fix the problem, the program still doesn't run in full screen mode.
2. DOSBOX:
Using DOSBOX is usually not preferred by me. I personally don't like to use DOSBOX because of some of its limitations.
3. DISABLING THE GRAPHICS CARD:
I used windows 7 without any problem because without even using DOSBOX, I simply used to disable the DISPLAY ADAPTER from the device manager and after which i could use the TURBOC in the same way as it runs on XP. I liked this way and always used to do that, and after finishing the programming i used to enable the display adapter back. But in windows 8 this method is also not working.
4. DUAL OPERATING SYSTEM:
I can have the dual operating system. Windows 8 for all my work. And windows 7 for my programming session. But my PC configuration is not enough to support dual OS.
So I cant figure out any proper solution. Please help me.
Microsoft must do something for this problem as this is the major problem seen by we people always.
All is OK with C in smaller mode but the C programs which works on graphics one cant be operated without full screen, which is the major issue. I have to continue with C.
And i love windows 8 also, but if Microsoft doesn't fix this issue, I have to move back to the WINDOWS 7 as there is no way out.
Hope someone could fix it.
Thanks...
