Oh boy. Am I in trouble!

I am still using VB6 and recently installed it on a Windows 7 Home computer. I set the compatibility for VB6.exe to Windows XP(service pack 3).

I have a large program with 37 forms and 8 modules.

Form 1 is the startup form. It calls form 2. On a button click on form 2, it calls form 3.

When I put a breakpoint on the first statement in Form_Load in form 3. The VB totally freezes when that statement gets executed. Same with other statements. Nothing works. I have to use TaskMgr.exe to kill Visual Basic. Same with other forms.

I only got the Windows 7 machine about two months ago and everything worked fine as far as I remember. This freezing just started about two weeks ago and I have no idea why.

It means IDE is useless and I can not debug the program.

Can anyone help??
