heeeeeeeeeeelp visual studio not running on XP
-
HELP!!! lol after messing about with my pc A LOT (taking out every piece of add-on hardware seperately) i finally managed to install windows XP. So far i was very satisfied of its stability and options. BUT i installed Visual Studio 6 and it installed just fine, except maybe for an error about a DAO dll not being able to register, but i figured Visual C++ wouldnt be needing that anyways, probably just for VB. But when i tried to run Visual C++ it just closes when i try to open a file or a project, so basically when the program tries to show the open/save file dialog. This is for Visual C++, AS WELL as VB, Interdev and Foxpro :( Has anyone experienced this before? Please help me if there is a way to fix this, i'd really hate having to have to install Windows 98/2000 on a seperate partition just for Visual Studio. Thanks in advance P.S.: I already tried changing the compatibility mode, it doesnt change a thing Kuniva --------------------------------------------

Windows is getting realy screwed up after an update(as far as i witnessed) from win9x to winXP. try installing windows in one time(without update) so only winXP is finding all drivers and stuff, that may help.

ow yeah forgot, your DAO driver is needed while programming... so, it might be a good thing to DO install this driver []D [] []D []
Heh, thanks for the reply, it kinda got sorted already though lol. Like right after i posted this i opened Visual C++ and it worked, and i did not upgrade from Win98, i just erased my harddrive and installed from scrap. And i managed to install the DAO350.dll as well so it all works now. Kinda strange it didnt work at first though... but oh well, Microsoft works in mysterious ways :wtf: :rolleyes: Kuniva --------------------------------------------
