Re: Problem: DirectX 8 in Vista, error 429
I think you'll find that DirectX 8 and 9 use the same dll. Check your references for DirectX 8 for Visual Basic Type Library, dx8vb.dll.
I think the problem is going to be Vista. ;)

Do you have any errror trapping? You need to determine which line is generating the error.
Vista uses DX9 btw.
