I use now Oracle VM VirtualBox and Windows XP and it's fast now, don't know why it didn't work in 2019...

Oracle VM virtualbox is too much sloooowwwww and can't really be used. I upgrade my Windows 10 Home to Pro so i can install Hyper-V (don't forget to enable Virtualization in your BIOS!). It's great and faster!

If you have Windows 7 x64 and if you can't run GFA Basic Windows ? Look at this
CONSEILS DE DÉPANNAGE
System\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers.VDD. Virtual Device Driver format in registry is invalid. Chose 'Close' to terminate the application
In some cases, click on "Ignore" allows the program to run properly, but the error message continues to appear when you start 16-bit programs.

Run Regedit then open the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers\VDD

In some cases this VDD key no more exist. If it exists, click to select it, then right click, choose "Delete".
Then you must recreate it: In the "Edit" menu, point to "New" and click on "Multi-String Value." Type "VDD" in the "Value Name", then confirm with "Enter"
Can't run 16-bits Windows Program
If when you try to run a program, a dialog box containing the error "Can not run 16-bit Windows Program" appears on the screen, here's how to fix this problem due to non functioning of the creation of short file names:

Run Regedit then open the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem

Double click the value NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation then enter 0 in the Data text box value
Confirm with OK, close the Registry Editor and restart your computer to apply the change

If you are not familiar with the registry, you can simply run this small file that will automatically do the modification above!
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications
Find the file autoexec.nt in C:\windows\repair\ and copy it in the folder C:\windows\system32\
The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running
Windows 7 X64 et les systèmes antérieurs 64 bits (XP/Vista X64) ne prennent pas en charge les applications 16 bits, seules les applications 32 bits et 64 fonctionnent correctement.

Les versions Pro et intégrale de windows 7 permettent de lancer les programmes 16 bits, en mode XP...

Si vous avez une autre version de Windows 7, je vous invite à utiliser Oracle VM VirtualBox, qui vous permettra d'installer Windows XP sur votre ordinateur et donc d'utiliser le GFA Basic Windows sur Windows 7 64 bits !
Ce "PC Virtuel" s'ouvrira dans une fenêtre, à la manière d'un émulateur. Bien entendu il faudra installer le système d'exploitation qui vous intéresse pour l'utiliser !
