Visual C++ 6.0 - can't "File Open" after IE 8 and Vista SP2
-
Has anybody experienced this? I just installed IE 8 and Vista SP2. I'm supporting several VC++ 6.0 (MFC) projects and need to keep it alive on my system. Now that these are installed, I can open workspaces and recent files, however if I select File-Open in Visual C++ I get nothing (no dialog). If I do it a couple more times VC++ crashes and closes. If I try using the toolbar or "Ctrl-O", VC++ crashes immediately. Help! - Mark

All the more reason not to mess with a stable system.

True. I did get some significant improvement out of Outlook and the operating system in general. But I seem to be paying the price with my 11 year old IDE. ;)

I had the same problem under XP. I installed SP6 for VC++ and it fixed the problem. :) Google: Visual C++ 6.0 service pack 6 download

Thanks! That's brought it back. Life is good again.
