[RESOLVED] "Method 'ShowOpen' of object 'ICommonDialog' failed"

[Peter Swinkels]

Whenever I try to open a common dialog box using the ShowOpen method, I get the following error:

Run-time error '32765':

Method 'ShowOpen' of object 'ICommonDialog' failed

After doing some searching (with Google and the MSDN search feature) I found out that the cmdlg32.hlp help file, MSDN and a few other websites all provide this very helpful piece of information:

cdlInitialization &H&H7FFD
& The function failed during initialization

This is what I found out myself:
-This error does not occur while running under Microsoft Windows 98.
-Reinstalling Visual Basic does not solve the problem.
-Compatibility mode does not help.
-Using another version of Comdlg32.ocx does not help.

I'm pretty much at a loss as to the cause and how to solve it, if any one can help out, it will be appreciated. The file Project1.zip contains some code that reproduces the error.

btw:
I'm using the Cmdlg32.ocx activeX control version 6.0.84.18.

EDIT:
New information added.
