    Resolved [RESOLVED] Program not responding

    hey guys, i recently switched from windows xp, to windows 7 ultimate.

    i am using VB6 portable, but when i run in on windows 7, and i try to open up one of my forums, VB6 stops responding, and after a minute or two, it closes. (even if i run as administrator)

    is this because it isnt compatible with windows 7? if so, can someone post a link for a compatible VB6?

    Thanks,
    TsterT

    yes.

    im pretty sure its windows 7 doing this, cus my friend using vista can load them perfectly.

    but i can play it, i can open the project, but i just can't open a form to edit it without vb6 not responding

    It might help - because there could be anything added to (and many things removed from) the 'Pirated' edition that you are currently using.


    You will find it hard to get hold of a legal copy of VB6 (aka VB1998) because it is so far out of date - but you can legitimately get VB2008 for free: www.microsoft.com/express

    Unless you have an extremely good reason for wanting to use VB6, I strongly recommend using VB2008 instead.
