Rez, it would have worked, but you didn't fully listen.
It's simple though, you just need to register the dx7vb.dll file.
I assume you have this fixed though, since you've moved on to bigger, worse errors.

| Post subject: | Mirage in Windows Vista |
Well heres my problem see? I don't understand if it is my Windows Vista, or some common error. I have not edited the source at all yet, so I thought I would see if the programs would run on its own. So I open up VB and click "Make Client.exe..." after the Source is opened up to save the source into a client. The general window pops up asking where I want to save this Client.exe or rename it. So I'll just save it as Client, I click okay and this message pops up: Compile error: Can't find project or library So then I click OK, It comes up with another window called "References" and at the bottom it says: MISSING: DirectX 7 for Visual Basic Type Library Location: C\Users\WINDOWS\System32\dx7vb.dll Language: Standard Then I click OK, then a whinow in the source is highlighted its called "Mirage - modGlobals (code)" Inside that window it highlights: ' DirectX variables Public DX As New DirectX7 Now I don't know if this has anything to do with it but that is my problem straight forward, so can anybody relate or is this a simple fix my feeble brain can't comprehend? |

Good, then all's you need to do is get that DLL. Installing DirectX should do the trick. |

Nah, that only works sometimes. I had that DLL and my Computer told me I was missing it also. I tried to re register it, and it kept saying it was failed. I couldn't use anything MS-based for a week when I first got Vista. |

Alright, throught typing my fingers to the bone I have the solution! This was actually a Windows Vista problem through DriectX. So if you ever have this problem here is the fix! STEPS: 1.)Download: dx7vb.dll (Search on Google or Yahoo) 2.)Copy and Paste dx7vb.dll into Computer\C\Windows\System32 3.)Go to Start Menu\All Programs\Accessories 4.)Right Click Command Prompt 5.)Click "Run As Administrator" 6.)Type in: cd \ cd windows\system32 regsvr32 dx7vb.dll PROBLEM FIXED! I hope that helps the next person trying to run and VB6 files on Windows Vista! |

Yeah see, I couldn't do that, I went to run and tried it that way, I also tried using RegServer, the actual EXE, it would always say failed. but I was linking my home network with Nbtstat through Cmd Prompt, and when I rebooted it magically worked. No clue why, I never asked Qs. |

I posted a fucking guide for this. It's STICKIED IN THE GOD DAMN KNOWLEDGE BASE. If you'd have looked around, you'd of seen it. All you do is disable UAC, put the dx7vb.dll file into your system32 folder, then drag it onto regsvr32.exe. Since Vista automatically moves the dll to the top, I suggest creating a shortcut on your desktop to regsvr32.exe and then putting the dll in the system32 folder and then dragging the dll file from the system32 folder and onto the regsvr32.exe SHORTCUT. |

But it doesn't work. >.< I can only register -some- DLLs. If I drag them onto it, it usually gives me that damn 'can't register' error, same if I try to Right-click and register them. And my UAC has always been off. But, if I keep trying, it sometimes works. Like, if I try to register Fmod, for example, it didn't work the first 6 times, but the 7th time it worked fine. OCX files tend to work the first 2-3 times though. It's just my computer. |

FMOD won't register for me either. xD |

Well on try 7 it worked for me. I downloaded the FPO client, but I can't register any of your DLLs, I'm assuming that's why the updater gives me a RTE. XD |

| Author: | Matt [ Thu Aug 30, 2007 11:38 pm ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Mirage in Windows Vista |
Which RTE? If it's like 32k something, I can't figure that one out. Though you may need to run the register thing a few times to get it.. xD Btw, take this to the FPO thread or something..
