Error with version 5 VB |

Hi Peter,
I have downloaded the demo version 5 of VB/ASP/COM for testing. I have installed it on
my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. When I run the VBHellowWorld, I got following message -
"Error accessing the system registry"
After proceeding, the form was loaded but without the ChartViewer in the ToolBox.
Earlier I had used it successfully on 32 bit.
Regards
John

Hi John,
The issue is not related to ChartDirector but is due to compatibility of VB6 with newer
versions of Windows. As you probably know, VB6 was released in 1998 and Microsoft has
stopped supporting it long ago. As a result, many features of VB6 may not work smoothly if
you run it an operating which is incompatible with Windows XP.
To solve the problem, You can run VB6 on Windows 7 or 8 by starting it in "XP SP2
Compatibility Mode". (Right click on the VB6 icon, select Properties, in the "Compatibility"
tab, choose "Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 2)".
Please kindly let me know if the above can solve the problem.
