It means that COM/OLE is utterly dead. Try reinstalling VB. If that doesn't work...try installing Windows again...

Hey parksie,

check this out. found it at microsoft's site (after much patience). it's the solution for the error message i posted earlier. i figured somebody else has got to have that problem, so i'm posting this:

This error is caused by an incorrect version of comcat.dll.

RESOLUTION

To resolve the problem, install the correct version of comcat.dll by completing the
following steps:

1.Use REGSVR32.EXE to unregister COMCAT.DLL. REGSVR32.EXE is installed by Visual Basic or it may be found on the Visual Basic installation CD-ROM.

To unregister, select Run from the Windows Start menu, type the following command line and click Ok:

regsvr32 /u comcat.dll

2.Copy comcat.dll, version 4.71 (22k), from the ..\DevStudio\VB\Setupkit\kitfil32\sys32 directory or from your Visual Basic CD to the Windows\System or WinNT\System32 directory.

3.Use REGSVR32.EXE to register COMCAT.DLL. To register, click Run on the Windows 95 Start menu, type the following command line, and the click OK:
