    Resolved [RESOLVED] Error 481 - Invalid picture in compiled exe (vb6 sp6) in Win7

    I've had developing an vb6 (sp6) app in my pc with winxp and running it in other with win7.

    suddenly, after days running the app, the win7 reports the ERROR
    error 481 invalid picture

    but really this is not a problem for my new compiled one, but ALL the exe programs (even with dates from several years old) created with vb6.

    the error happen in the form1.load or .show.
    couriously an form (splash) loaded and show in the main.sub shows ok.
    the error is when shows the "main" form.
    alse are errors in programs with only form1 without main nor splash.
    thus: splash form shows, but not other forms.

    I think the culprit is windows update in win7 that have (maybe) replaced some dll or so.
    I have try to replace some know dll (as comcat.dll) but win7 don't let you to delete nor replace this file.

    Thanks.
