[mensahero]

.. Hi guys.. Im having A problem using mswinsck.ocx as a component.. it always gives me an error... "mwinsck.ocx cant be loaded"..

Im on win xp sp1 and using vb6... all other .ocx file loaded fine..

.. the mswinsck.ocx is located on my c:\windows\system32 and registered successfully using regsvr32 on run and also the latest version... dont know why I cant load it as a component?.... could anyone help me?.. tnx in advance..

.. just wonderin.. is MSWinSck.ocx thesame with mswinsck.ocx and MSWINSCK.ocx ... same version but different in CASE/capital letters <<< cause I got all of them.. but I only registered the MSWinSck.ocx and I made sure that it doesnt have duplicates on system32...

Im on win xp sp1 and using vb6...

Professional or Home edition? Have you tried to register it manually?

[mensahero]

Im on win xp professional... and vb6 enterprise edition bro......

registered manually? << are you referring to the .ocx file? ... if so.. yes i registered the .ocx file manually...

XP SP1? The rest of the world is on XP SP2. Why are you behind?

Is your VS updated to SP6?

.. I cant upgraded to sp2... I recieve an error that I have a illegal liscence for my win xp.. something like that.. Im kinnda victim of some piracy or something..

... yup I already installed service pack 6 for my vb6.. downloaded it direct from microsoft..

"a victim of some piracy"?

sounds more like you stole your copy of windows @_@ you can't be a victim of piracy if you're the one stealing.

[mensahero]

hmmmm.. I bought my pc.. with win xp.. and when I tried to upgrade it to sp2 because its free.. I recieve a message from microsoft.. that maybe I was a victim of piracy.. thats it.. I have a illigal liscence.. I dont know If Im the one who stole it..

... and.. thats not really my problem right? if you think upgrading to sp2 will solve my problem.. well thats a different case..

... my problem is about vb6 and mswinsck.ocx file.. << the only file I cannot load as a component..

perhaps it's corrupt or damaged, try finding an original file online to replace it with to check.

also, I don't think having SP2 would make any difference at all, especially seeing as how VB6 was not made for XP, so your version of XP should have no relevance to how it should work, unless there was a Winsock dependency update post VB6's last update (SP6), or something. I was just commenting.

nah.. its ok bro.. tnx for the reply.. and I did search for mswinsck.ocx files on the net and registered them.. but still.. all of them doesnt load..

.. Im using a program that require a mswinsck.ocx and it runs fine.. so I dont think mswinsck.ocx is corrupt or something..

.. I did mess with the services on my xp a week ago.. I dont know if it affected that file... or something.. but my computer runs fine.. I just dont know if thats the cause of my problem.. tnx for the replys guys..

..this is the details of the error a recieve..

Line 1421: Class MSWinsockLib.Winsock of control Socket was not a loaded control class.

Maybe the cd that you install in your pc is the problem ... maybe its not a full version .... so that your saying your victim of piracy .... cause that its a pirated CD right .... ^^

[mensahero]

I bought my pc.. with win xp already installed.. Its included on the package.. I dont have any CD or something...

[Loraine]

Try to re-install but using new cd ... not the cd included on your packgae .... you says you already register it .. i think there is no problem about your regustration and something else ... for me i think the version that you installed is the problem .... but try to consult others suggestion .....

[mensahero]

... well actually im not having probs with win xp.. I cant re install it because I dont have the CD.. I bought my pc with win xp already installed.. tnx for the reply though.. but my problem is not about win xp..

when I open a project on vb that requires mswinsck.ocx to be loaded.. I recieve this error..

details on log file..

Have you check the winsock references ?
