good afternoon midknyte and train

installed 7 this morning on my old work pc with xp.

only 3 missing drivers after the intall: ethernet, one printer (i'll get a new driver later) and scanner (expected).

went to dell's site and dl their ethernet driver. installed with no problem. connected to internet, to other computers on the network and to the NAS attached.

intalled xp mode and virtual pc. set up xp mode for use. so far, so good.

installed qbasic. this is for 2 legacy systems and the reason for xp mode here.

basic run fine .... EXCEPT the folders it writes to are "read only" and i can't seem to change that. i go to properties and UNCHECK the "read only" box. only to have it checked the next time i open properties.

is there someplace else i need to go to make this folder read AND write?

thanks in advance
