Will VB6.0 run smoothly if ill use xp mode?
- Thread starter florence
- Start date
Depends - are there particular reasons you are unable to run your VB6 app natively in Windows 7? Obviously XP Mode is a true Windows XP "system" in a VM, so if there are compat issues in Win7 for your VB6 app, then yes. However, VB6 is still included (albeit somewhat limited) in Win7, so I'm curious as to why you're asking.

VB 6.0 has quite a few display problems running on Windows 7.
It should work fine in XP Mode. Personally I use VB 6.0 on XP inside VMWare.
