    If you were having problems, probably what happened is that the project got corrupted. Try creating a new project and a few
    small funtions. If it runs and acts normally then thats probably what it is. You could always re-create the project by copying the VB
    code into a new frm file and vbp. You would only have to add new controls and desingto the frx files manually.

    I doubt that over 90% of my VB files got corrupted. My friend last night made me a small example with like 20 lines of code in it. and it still crashed my vb.

    Try doing a Repair and see if that helps. There may be something that is left behind from an uninstall that is messed up and a
    re-install doesnt overwrite or repair it.

    also, are you installing the service pack?
