Hi Sam,
Heath problems (had poor gut all my life), and a couple of stresses. EG Available housing is non existing in Aus, and after 21 years rental, my owner dies, and the estate administrators were...

In another thread here, I posted a link to a pretty thorough web page instructions for installing VB6.
I today checked that link, and web page no longer exists.
I suspect it is the same article...

On W8.1 Pro, I tried your mouse wheel trick - it works
I have on (rare) occasions when I need to magnify - used Ctrl M

My original (and present) copy of VB6 was the upgrade version. When my XP PC was dying, I installed my VB6 into a W8.1 desktop. It got huffy, as it wanted to see VB5 on my PC (fat chance of that).

I use Proton mail occassionally. Which is a very secure email provider. Not that that is relevant to what I am about to suggest (but a nervous client would get a warm feeling if they googled Proton)....

I have 5 external Seagate 3.5" drives, and they have never failed. And they have all been running in my house with the voltage/current spikes. I suspect that they have a tiny 'UPS effect' built into...

I purchased a Crucial 250gb Sata SSD
Before placing it into my Desktop, I imaged the XP Pro 32bit into my external 3.5" drive.
I verified the image, and restored it into the internal HDD (I have...

All my PCs are old. They are desktops, and they die quite often.
I use the SDW (Seagate Disk Wizard) which is FREE, provided it can see a seagate drive somewhere.

If you are experiencing an error, why not attach a project demonstrating the error ? ? ? ?
That would prevent threads going round in circles (like this one)

Been to hades and back, and finally got SP6 'installed', and it was a piece of cake.

Thanks Sam, much appreciated.
I will pore through it.

Many members have wondered what your real name is.
I can now reveal what it is -
Marc Antony
And many will remember your famous speech -
I come to bury VB6 not to praise it

No car, and just about to walk to supermarket.
If you can strip down your project enough to remove anything private/personal, but sufficient to demonstrate the problem, and attach it.

Came across a topmost solution, where you don't have to have any visible controls (or menus).
Probably not the most needed approach for topmost, but some members may have the occasional need.
