    Resolved [RESOLVED] Run-Time Error 7 !

    I have an application (VB6) that runs fine on any machines running XP and below but when it is installed on Vista I get “Run-Time Error 7 : Out of Memory” as it is starting up – any ideas what could be wrong I understood Vista was better not worst

    There could be several reasons for that. What components/files are you deploying and are they up to date. Possibly you may not need to deploy them.

    There are several changes in Vista to increase security - if your application is not written using the "correct" methods (which have been recommended by Microsoft for years, but most people have ignored!) you are likely to have errors in any of the areas that have changed.

    I don't know if it will help in this case (as it may well be an installation issue), but there is an article in our Classic VB FAQs which explains the things that need to be done to get your app working on Vista.
