Performance is not to the fullest yet in Windows 7. There have been quite a lot of compatibility issues in 7. One of the most common problem is the inability to run Turbo C compilers in full screen mode and the issues with DOS games. There are DOS games which don’t run at all in 7. With a few simple steps you can resolve these issues.

1.Download “DOSBOX”; don’t worry its only 1.38MB . (DOSBox is an emulator which emulates an IBM PC compatible computer running MS-DOS. It is intended especially for use with old PC games/softwares. DOSBox is free software.)

2.Now, if you have finished downloading DOSBox, you need to install it on your machine.

3.After the installation, right-click on an empty space on your desktop and select New>Shortcut. “Create Shortcut” Dialog box will open on the screen.

4.In the location text box, type in or copy-paste the location of the DOSBox.exe file of your DOS BOX software (within double quotes). For E.g., If you have installed DOS BOX in the C: drive, the location will be “C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe”. Leave a space and type in the location of the TC.exe file (within double quotes).

5.After entering the location click Next, give your shortcut a name and click Finish. You will see the newly created shortcut icon on your desktop. Double-click that icon every time you want to run TurboC on your computer. Hit Alt+Enter to make it full screen

Simple.windows 7 has no compatibility issues as abhi said.

just follow my instructions. if it is working please select mine as the best answer after a hour..please....

1: Open TC++ (normally C:\TC\BIN\TC.EXE). In the startup it will show a dialogue box that it doesn’t support full screen mode as seen in the picture below. Just select ignore option. Then it will open the small screen mode.





Step 2: Go to the top left of the window and click. It will show a menu as shown in the figure. Then select properties from the menu.



Step 3: Now it will show the properties window, in which you select the Font tab. There you can see two font options as Raster and Lucida Console. The default will be Raster. You select Lucida Console and select the size from the size list as 28.



Step 4: After selecting the fonts, now you have to select the layout tab where you can see screen buffer size, window size, and window position options. First unselect the “Let system position window” option from window position options. Now make the following changes:



* Screen Buffer Size: Width: 82 Height: 28



* Window Size: Width: 80 Height: 26



* Window Position: Left: -4 Top: -4



After making the changes select OK.



Now you will see a larger window and very crisp font size in which you can work perfectly fine. This technique actually doesn’t provide full screen in Vista but you will find it much better.



NB: The given sizes will work fine for 1280 by 800 screens, but there is no compulsion that you have to use them as specified. You can always use your own options according to your need
