    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

      Mark, I am thinking that the version of VC++ 6.0 that is installed on your machine was damaged or altered by the installation of IE 8 or Vista SP2. This could be related to a new version of a DLL. I would address this issue by reinstalling VC++ 6.0. Bob

          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. ;)

            Perhaps MFC DLL hell?

              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
