Well, I don't understand why it happens but every time I run a fresh installation of VB6 on different computers I run into trouble. Sometimes I can fix it after a few tries but this time, on the laptop, I just don't feel like trying any longer. I still can use VB6 at the desktop. But I'm seriously considering moving to .net, even if it means going through a tough time up the learning curve.

Also this is one of the reasons why I went from Windows 8 back to 7, and one of the reasons why I went from 64-bit back to 32-bit.
