ok (hopefully moderater will trans it) But yes there is interpreted's and compiliers and i need the compilier
Becuase when using interper a few commands to day i learned in class did not work, plus teacher said we are using a QBasic Compilier. Also I have see both but like i said when i try compiler sure it dosnt work with xp 32 bit I tried differnt versions. but after i exstract it first time i was it its ok BUT second time so on have a error dealing with 16 bit (dosnt work if i make pc 16 bit). So um.. Ya ok Long story short i need a 32 bit QBasic Compilier

QBasic is handled over there AFAIK
We don't do QB. Well - I don't. Someone there might know. Yes, QBasic is interpreted but I believe you can also get a compiler just like the original MS/IBM BASIC.
QBasic <-> Visual Basic is kinda like saying "Perl and PHP are the same" with either statement being about as accurate as the other. Unless QBasic attained object orientation when I wasn't looking ;-)

Well, as I hinted in the Other Languages forum VB != QBasic. Have you looked at the several compilers found here? Also, 16 bit applications should run under a 32 bit O/S.

Since this was subsequently posted in VB I'm gonna close this to avoid having people double up effort. Follow up in this thread if anyone can help on this question.
Cheers
Tim
since I mod both forums I've merged the threads while leaving a redirect from your original post

there exist no 32 bit qbasic compilers. This goes back to the distinction between qbasic and quickbasic. QBasic was a free interpreter that came with all installs of dos. QuickBasic was a compiler that you could purchase from microsoft for about $90. QuickBasic would make 16bit .exe's you could run. Development for QuickBasic ended with DOS as VisualBasic for DOS was created and VB was further developed. Qbasic has been a dead language for 15 years or so, but that's what makes it so much fun.
There are other Basic compilers that claim close qbasic syntax, but none as far as I know have full qbasic compatibility. So the answer is you are pretty much out of luck.
