Make sure the Selected Items Only checkbox isn't ticked.
The selected box is turned off. This just started a few days ago. I have been an VB user for 20 years of so. I have unistalled and reinstalled VB 6 with the SP6 update twice with the same result.

Components Form with new project. Existing projects show the controls used but no unused controls. The references function works normally.
OS version ?

If you own VB/VS 6.0 Professional or Enterprise editions, try this:
1. Unistall VB6.0 or VS6.0, then ensure to remove all files and folders
2. Clear registry node:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Visual Basic
3. download my free tool VS6.0 Installer 2.1 (see my sign)
4. install VB6.0 + SP6 + MSDN (optional) using VS6 Installer steps
Let me know. :wave:
There should be no need at all to use any third party installer here.
The VB6 setup on the disc works just fine under XP, no issues that I am aware of.
Should,nt VB6 pick up any ocx's... both in yoru system32 file and in general anywhere on your PC?
The ones that are properly registered, I would say yes
All are registered and up till about 4 or 5 days ago all where showing up as expected.
Perhaps this might help

The registration succeeded but the result is the same. I never received the class not registered message. New projects have no controls in the component list and existing projects only show used controls.
What is the exact message you get when you click on one of the other tabs?
Does the same thing happen when you right click on the component toolbox and try to bring up the components list?
Permission to use object deigned. Same message for both the other tabs.
I did some searching and the only other thing I see is drive/os corruption that is linked to this.
Have you detected any virus on the system lately? Have an up to date virus scanner?
Checked the HD for errors? Bad sectors?
Installed any software that may have replaced system files used by VB?
I have an up to date virus app running and have not detected any issues. I did install a copy of NovaBackup recently but have since uninstalled it till the issue is resolved. I'm going to scan my hard drive for bad sectors.
Checked both the OS and the hard Drive both check out 100% I think that only leaves the registry?
If it were me I would be considering a system restore at this point. Possibly try a restore point and if that failed then a full restore if available and if not then a format and reinstall or possibly just pick up another HD and install the OS on that and make the current drive a slave or secondary boot device.
Maybe someone else has a better idea than I what may cause this but after searching the net I really have not found anything on it that may correct the issue other than a clean install or restire to a point where it was working.
A scan of the registry stops at the following location while checking the Controls.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ClientExp.ComClientExport.1\CLSID
Any thoughts?
hmm
On my system that key exists and has the following value
I am also under XP SP3Quote:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ClientExp.ComClientExport.1\CLSID]
@="{CFADAC85-E12C-11D1-B34C-00C04F990D54}"
Gibra, could you make available the installer schema of your VS6.0 Installer 2.1. If someone would like to install some additional controls in IDE it could be done manually only. Do you have the VB6 files/folders distribution list posted on your site? I didn't find it. Thank you in advance.
My key has the exact same data.
Doesn't exists any distribution files/folders list.Quote:

This is not the purpose of VS Installer 6.0.
VS6.0 Installer make easy a standard installation with any Windows version.
However, this topic is OT in this thread.
If you want to argue about this, there is the appropriate forum on my website VBCorner.
