Hi.
As indicated in this thread. Qbasic can be installed from Windows 95/98/Me
disks.
It is not included in the Windows XP disks.
If you do not have one of these, you need to go to
www.qbasic.com/
Here you will find a Newbie section to help you. There are tutorials, the
program
and a help file available.
If you do have one of the older windows disk, follow this route.
My Computer -> press and hold Shift, pop the older Windows disk into your
drive.
after the disk has been 'hit', release the Shift, right click the Windows
icon,
click 'Open', find the 'oldmsdos' folder, open this, drag qbasic.exe then
qbasic.hlp
into your My Documents folder.
Good Luck.
Let me know how you go on.
