    @SHIVAJIKARNATAKA We are not sure what problem you're facing. Are you stuck at some step? Why do you need to change OS?

    most of 7 users have trouble with compatibility with TC. As Windows7 is 32-bit/64-bit while C is 16-bit or 8-bit program (I am not sure which one though :p) it has some compatibility issues.

    Unless we know the exact problem, answering anything in this thread is going to be pretty useless :D

    There are many ways:
    1. Use VMWare/Virtualbox to create virtual machine and install xp in it and then turbo C.
    2. Use DOSBOX , (although it changes look and feel and shortcuts)
    3. Use Dev Cpp instead of Turbo Cpp.

    very easy solution:
    Download "Turbo C simulator" from download.com & install it...no need to install TC.
    u will get Turbo c in full screen mode as that in XP.

    Just don't install it in C drive because total C drive will require permissions for read and write. Install in some other drive and run the TC.EXE in the compatibility mode of Win XP.

    I don't use this shitty thing, GCC is already there, but if I remember correct, that's what worked for me when I tried to do it in my friends computer.
