VB5: Run-Time Error '380'

This is very frustrating.  A VB5 program I wrote years ago stopped working and is now giving me this error:

Run-time error '380':

Invalid property value

I cannot figure out what has changed, since I run that program almost daily.   It was working fine, then stopped (without any changes to the program).   I suspect I may have uninstalled something it uses, but cannot figure out what.

When I open the VB5 IDE, I get an error saying:

'c:\program files\devstudio\vb\Comct232.ocx' could not be loaded--Continue Loading Project

If I say no, it does not load and I cannot see the source code.

If I say yes, it does load and I can see the source code but I get weird compiler errors.

I'm stumped.

Where do I look

    Sorry about posting in the wrong place.

    Thanks for pointing me to the correct place.

    Before I could post over there, I figured out my problem.

    I first uninstalled VB5 and reinstalled, no change.

    I uninstalled again, just in case I missed something, reinstalled again, watching closly for errors. Nothing. Still failed with error 380.

    Turns out it was a window-size and window-position variable saved in the registry that was a negative number. Very weird choice of error messages...

    I had the same problem with an app. Worked fine on all machines, but then I need to install onto a test machine... Runtime error '380'.. searched net for couple of hours and came across your reply about a negitive value in the reg...... it hit me.. The test machine I had set up had a lower Resolution.. changed it to the correct value and hey presto no more errors.. Just thought Id say cheers and maybe my comment will help others in the future.

    Sounds like there is something wrong with your vb5 install. Remember this forum is for vb.net questions try using the vb newsgroups for vb5 questions in the future.
