Please reply if you know of anything that might help:
I had VB6 Professional installed on Win98 on a laptop and downloaded SP4 (+ mdac 2.5) from the microsoft website. What happened ??
VB6 hangs on the splash screen indefinetely - no more VB.
I then did a clean reinstall of Win98 and VB6 (without the SP4 this time). And now sometimes it hangs and sometimes it doesn't....
Is it software or perhaps hardware that's giving up???
doesn't sound very fun, does your laptop meet the min. req. for VB6 and SP4?
Laptop is well capable (more of a desktop replacement).
I had VB6 running fine for a year until I went for the SP4 download....
I checked the knowledge base and couldn't find anything out, you may want to download the SP4 again and try it and maybe rerun your IE5(or 5.5) install
Cheers. I'll let you know how it goes. I hope it's a software thing rather than the hardware. Is it okay to install IE5.5 over the current IE5 ??
Any other suggestions, most welcome...
shouldn't be any problems putting IE5.5 over 5.0
