Step through your program using F8 and see what line causes the program to crash.

Hang on, is VB itself crashing, ie as soon as you load up VB or is it you own program ie when you play your program?

For what I got it is VB itself and which case the only solution I see is what Pradeep posted.

Sorry, I misunderstood.

I have had the same problem before.

I agree with Hack & Prod.

I had the same problem a few weeks ago and reinstalling didn't solve it, I had to reformat my machine... :(

Before you reinstall, if you have any add-ins present in your VB directory, remove them first to see if they are causing the crash.

Hi all, I came across several threads regarding "Splash Screens", and have been wondering, what's Splash Screen ?

A static window that pops up while the program is loading. Usually with images, the program's name, copyright, etc. Often also some sort of loading status.

Is there any example of the program/ source codes that I could refer to ?

Well, when you open VB, or VS.NET ;) ... the little window that pops up with the logo. That's the slapsh screen.

And when you are adding a Form in VB there is the Splash Screen template also...

If you create a new project and choose the VB Application Wizard instead of Standard .Exe, the wizard will walk you through creating a new project. One of the last options is to include a Splash screen. If you create a new project this way, and include a Splash screen, you will get sample code on how to use a Splash screen and that should help you to incorporate one into your actual applications.
