For some reason Qbasic 4.5 fails to run on XP even with the backwards compatability mode. Although I can get the main menu up by running it via the command line, it immediately goes back the prompt.
I tried opening the .bas file with Notepad, shows it in binary text. Tried with VB.NET 2005, and it opens it with Notepad. I tried it with DarkEdit, and it just shows a u.
Is there anything else I can open it with, or any other way to get Qbasic to work on XP?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Emulating an interpreter... Well, premature optimization IS the root of all evil.
