Hi Jim, Well, VB 6 programs are supported under Windows Vista, but I have read Microsoft will offer no VB 6 support on the os following Vista. Weather or not you can install and run VB 6 apps on the new os by installing the runtimes remains to be seen. However, why stick with VB 6 at all. I mean this is 2007, and Visual Basic 2005 is the current version of VB, and it is free. there is really no reason to hang on to VB 6 if you are willing to put a little extra time, and get your personal skills up to date. I know since you are not developing commercially, your games are primarily for yourself, you may think there isn't a big need to switch. However, I personally disagree with that view. Holding to VB 6 is like holding onto an old crutch. You can limp along on it for years, but never taking advantage of or updating it with the changes you see around you. I also see you personally may stick with XP for many more years, and that is fine. However, for those of us who are moving on it would be a little nicer if we didn't have to deal with older technologies like VB 6.
