I may find myself starting all over again before time runs out, but here is what I have done so far and it seems to work fine. If you paid for a Windows 8 upgrade back in 2012-2013 ($39.95 + $14.99 for optional DVD install media) you have a Product Key. I'd never used it but held onto it. I...

This is an Acer Revo Build M1-601 that has 2GB RAM, 32GB eMMC, Celeron N3050, Intel HD Graphics. These come with Win10 preinstalled. This has been running fine for about 4 months. All updates are routinely applied, the only added hardware is a fast USB3 Sony 64BG flash drive used for extra...

After 25 years, Visual Basic gets its due with DICE award win Just a gaming industry award, but at least some recognition from somewhere. DICE 2016: HOW TO WATCH THE DICE AWARDS

See: thread222-1594332 One of the things added in Windows NT 6.0, a.k.a. Longhorn, a.k.a. Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 was a "3D window switcher" in Shell32, a.k.a. Explorer. As part of this Microsoft altered the interface of Shell32.Shell to IShellDispatch5, which has a new method...

Microsoft to provide free upgrades to Windows 10 for 2 to 4 years presents sone new information about Windows 10 licensing, at least in terms of support. Instead of charging monthly for bug fixes, security patches, and rolling "improvements" that modify Windows 10 instead of going into future...

Microsoft to share Windows Threshold plans at Build 2014 show: Report

As we know, there isn't any easy way to create a VB6 Class using methods and properties named the same as quite a few reserved words. Examples: Open Close Write Of course by writing the appropriate ODL/IDL and making a typelib we can use Implements to provide class members with such names on...

Support Statement for Visual Basic 6.0 on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows 8

The BUILD 2011 conference covered a broad range of information, from lengthy press release level material to very technical sessions. Confusion seems to be common about how Web technologies play into the new Metro style applications, and Microsoft's shorthand speech uses the term "Web" quite a...

I have not verified the presence of the "runtime extended" (a basic set of DLLs and OCXs preinstalled in Vista & Win7) yet. However the runtime core components are there and programs run fine. This doesn't mean the eventual RTM Win8 will have them, but it is a good sign.

I have a Jet database with an open ADO Connection object cnCorrDB. The database has two tables TABLE-A and TABLE-B that have identical schemas (same number of fields with same types and names). I need to export all of the records these two tables do not have in common to a text file. "In...

Support Statement for Visual Basic 6.0 on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7

Thought I'd start: Change Taskbar to "small icons" via (right click) Properties. Oh, and the Pinned Apps area is really QuickLaunch, just renamed and with slightly different behavior.

No guarantees because it is completely unsupported. This may also only work under 32-bit Vista. You have been warned! Install VI 6.0 and apply latest SP (6?) you can get. Mark DEVENV.EXE to run as Administrator and Disable Desktop Composition. Replace ancient Triedit.dll and DHTMLEdit.ocx...

Has anyone else seen these yet? Recently Vista's Windows Explorer has begun acting up. If you create an empty file or folder via the "New" context menu you often "lose" it and can't change the name. You have to Refresh and then Rename. Auto-refresh in general doesn't seem to occur reliably...

Has anyone else been working with this "new" feature? It came out as part of Windows XP (and later Windows versions) and offers an improved answer to DLL Hell. Basically it takes the ".local" DLL Redirection feature in Win2K and its contemporaries (WinMe and Win98SE?) and then pushes it to the...

Does anyone here know how to calculate the SHA-1 hash that is used in a Windows SxS application or assembly manifest's <file/> element? As in: : <file name="Trantor.dll" hashalg="SHA1" hash="9103bf37326e85cfe1f0acafda9f75d610a0f9c6"> : </file> : The hash value shown above was...

A lot of recent laptops include an internal "Flash Reader" that takes a number of different card types (except maybe Sony, who often takes only Memory Stick). Like a lot of us, I use these slots for digital camera image transfer. But I also don't do this nearly as often as I use the laptop for...

How did I miss this? Maybe everyone else has already updated to the latest WSH, Scripting Runtime, VBScript, JScript, etc. This is the version that comes with Vista. See Windows Script Host 5.7 for the links for Win2K, XP, and Win2003. Mostly bug fixes, JScript GC optimization, a few minor...
