Error after closing vb6 on windows 7

Asked By cikiprik 0 points N/A Posted on - 06/28/2011

Hi,

After I wrote some code in VB6, I closed it. I got an error message (Visual basic has stopped working). My OS is 64 bit, Windows 7 ultimate. How do I solve this problem? Is this because I need administrator privileges? Or  is VB6 not compatible with Windows 7 64 bit? Please see the attachment for a screen shot of the error message .

Thanks.

Error after closing vb6 on windows 7

The problem is not with administrator privileges or VB6 compatibility. On Windows 7, 64 bit, it should work fine. Sometimes re-installation of VB6 would be required, if your project crashes but other projects are okay. Errors like these are caused by registry mixed, which crashes your application. So, try to go back to your codes and check the parts where you are using codes that write or read your registry. This has been a common problem by some users, that causes their projects to crash. So try to check back your codes. I hope this helps you.
