hi guys. i want to INSTALL visual basic. but i dont know if what version of VB is ideal to use?ALWAYS use the newest. Go to the microsoft website and download VB.net 2008 Express Edition.

P.S. you always use the newest because if you keep using the old ones, they stop running on newer COMPUTERS... i learnt that the hard way...

Anyway, 2008 is a really good program, aside from taking forever to load help, its really good.

Yours,
BonesMy PC is 2 months old, and it runs VB 1.0 released in 1991, and also QBasic released in 1985 and GW-BASIC from 1981. I don't know what you mean by "if you keep using the old ones, they stop running on newer computers..."
the programs you make stop running on new computers, sorry. I MADE a couple of programs in QBASIC the other day, transferred them to a new computer and they didn't work (which I expected).

I translated the program into VS2003, compiled it, and sent it across. It worked, but not how it worked on mine.

The programs themselves run on the CREATORS computer, but not others.But that's due to some quirk of your computer and the other one. It's not a general rule that older software "stops working" on later computers.
