Michael,

I am using vb6, VS 2005 and 2008 on a Vista 64 bit machine with no problems. 
I also have installed vb6 apps and they run fine as well.

You might try  uninstalling VB 6 and reinstalling, but generally if it will 
run on Vista 64 it will run on any Vista.

Bill

Me again...

I have a Virtual PC with Vista installed on my old pc and found
developing on it pretty annoying
with VS2005.  I also ran into big problems with my legacy VB6 apps that
I still support.
IIRC I could not find a way to regsvr32 controls and dll's which made
VB6 dev impossible and I gave up.
Has anything changed?
Is Vista an option for Dev work or should I just stick with XP?

Sorry if this is OT.

cheers

Michael M
