Actually, there's another and this may be the OP's issue. An
incompatibility, particularly with certain properties in either the
Properties window or a property page. Try disabling visual themes and/or
desktop composition. If you don't know how to do this:
Right-click either a shortcut to VB6 or the VB6.EXE file itself. Select
Properties. Click the Compatibility tab and you'll see the checkboxes
allowing you to disable either or both of these (don't remember for sure,
but I don't think WinXP has desktop composition as I think that's a Vista
and Win7 thing).
