that's indeed  it. However all the automated installers don't seem to work 
very well, best way to fix this is to copy dx7vb.dll and dx8vb.dll to 
C:\windows\system32/syswow64 or how ever that was and then register them 
with regsvr32.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it has to do with not having vb6
runtimes. If anyoen else knows, please please please tell me.
This is something that has been plaguing me for ever. Yet another reason I
look forward to getting away from vb6.

Damian  thinks it might be related to dx8.  I wish I had a way to test, but
don't have win7 on this machine.
That's on my list of things to do.  Though with moving to BGT, this may help
a lot of those compatibility issues.

Hi,

That particular error is caused by a missing VB 6 activex component. I think
you are aware by now that Windows 7 does not officially support Visual Basic
6 applications in any way, shape, or form?

The only way to resolve errors like that is to install all the missing
dependencies using something like Jim Kitchen's winkit setup, or installing
the Microsoft Visual Basic 6 runtime setup for Win 95/98.
