Software issues with 7

[dothackjhe]

Can anyone help me find a way to install Visual Basic 6.0 on Windows 7? Visual Basic 6.0 works on Windows XP when I installed it at that OS. I had to dual boot 7 with XP just to use that particular programming language. But eventually, a conflict between 7 and XP arose which resulted to a booting problem with any of the two. So dual booting is no longer an option for me just to use VB6. I was at school earlier when a classmate of mine showed me his laptop which runs on Windows 7 and has a working Visual Basic 6 in it. I was surprised to see that VB6 works on Windows 7. Here I am at home using a desktop computer which runs on Windows 7 Ultimate but am having trouble installing VB6 in it.

Also, after using Perfect Optimizer and Registry Easy on 7, I had corrupted folders under the library folder in 'My Documents'. It seems to be a dismembered registry key resulted to this. Can anyone help me on these software issues?

try running the installer in xp-compatibility mode.

right-click on the installer >> properties >> compatibility tab >> tick 'run this program...' box.

i'm afraid i can't help with the bad library folders, but i'm sure someone else can.

This method won't work. I've already tried it.

ok, then it could be time to geek it up and setup virtual xp mode in windows 7

i'm afraid i don't know, as i've never geeked it up this far ( i prefer keeping it real. )

others will know, and will hopefully post here soon.

It looks like a Virtual Box to me. It looks interesting though. I'll go check this one out. Thanks! ^________________^
