georgekar, can you be more specific with the temp file not erased ?

because VB6 IDE always had that habit of not erasing temp file, it is a bug per say but MS never fixed it, it doesn't crash anything... they just forget to make a delete temp file on exist IDE.

btw, on my side, never had any GDI+ problem on Win8, I made a commercial product wich is run on hundred of computer, nobody reported any problem or suspicious crash. can you be more specific about the problem ? maybe I can help you troubleshoot. Is it a EXE problem or a IDE problem, can you make a "small" sample that reproduce the problem even intermitently ? If it's a IDE problem, are you sure you installed Vb6 properly, on Win8 there is some precaution to do to install Vb6, it is more easier on Win7... just realize this might not be the right thread for this but I'm open to more detail if you need help
