Toolbar Changing by itself

[SteveM22]

On windows 10. VB6 SP6

The toolbar is using a timer to update on of the toolbar one button icon to show activity.
The bar has had no problems until now.
The buttons sizes all jump between three different sizes and the button tips go from no text to garbage text.
It jumps when the timer updates the on toolbar button image
This code has always worked on a Win XP pro laptop.

Someone probably will need a lot more information to know what is happening to your toolbar.
Starting from whether it is a normal Windows Common Controls toolbar or something special.

Just the standard VB toolbar. what else needed to know? Proper icons are showing and no captions for the face of the button are programmed, yet i garbage captions. the one icon updates by a timer and the whole toolbar jumps when the timer ticks. again, this was working before and on Win XP pro with no code changes made. maybe a memory problem? no other symptoms.
