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
Thats odd. I dont have windows 7 though. Hmmmm. Is the forums you try to open saved on your computer?
What is that? I've never heard of such version.Quote:

hmmm. That chould be a problem. Ummm, check to make sure that the form file is not corrupted, or if it exsists. If that isnt the problem, im sorry, i dont know.
well, its not just 1 form, its all of them lol.
ill look through the forms right now and make sure they are all normal, if not, i can always take the files off my other comp
alright, well i got the errors to go away, but the forms still wont open when i try to open them
do you think getting vb6 pro would solve this problem?
i was thinking about getting it anyways
Do you have any code in the Load event of the form....???? :)
It might help - because there could be anything added to (and many things removed from) the 'Pirated' edition that you are currently using.Quote:

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