My os is winXP and I''m using Borland C++ Builder 1.0 (Yes, 1.0) Pro. My code is: [suorce] //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <vcl\condefs.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <conio.h> #include <iostream.h> #pragma hdrstop //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- USERES("Project1.res"); //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- int main(int argc, char **argv) { highvideo(); textbackground(6); textcolor(7); gotoxy(6,5); cout << "Hi"; cin.get(); return 0; } //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- The prob;em is that the screen mode will not change and the textcolor will not change. I suspect this is a WinNT/2k/XP problem. If you have any way to solve problem please reply!

Aren''t those DOS functions? And isn''t DOS supposedly dead in WinXP?

Thanks to Kylotan for the idea!

And on to my next question, are there any WinXP dos emulators, I cant find one.

I think Borland implemented those functions for Win32 consoles.

The computer was conceived as a tool to reduce complexity. Some people found this loss of complexity unacceptable, and developed UNIX to amend the situation.

Could be, but heres another strange thing, with Python, thee is a console conio implementation that actually shows color in the console!

And that is strange because...?
