thanks i will try a reinstall to be able to use the package and deploy wizard.
i wonder why MS does not specify in their download instructions that SP6
contains all previous fixes even though it is a much smaller download.
I cannot find where to turn off Aero so I can see if thats my shake problem
when i drag over a control and place it on the form. help function offered by
Dell states many things about Aero, but not how to shut off. it does say
some things
are automaticaly contrrolled for visual presentation.

thanks

Mind you, I have no personal experience with any problems. Turning off Aero
is just something that is often suggested.

Try going to the vb6.exe filr properties Compatibility tab and check the
"Disable Desktop Composition" box.

thanks i will try. any ideas as to the deployment wizard not working but just
hanging with a PDMAN 98 not responding. but when i move the same project
file
to a 32 bit system the wizard works great, so its not in the project file
generated
in the 64 bit system. thanks
