Go to the Root Directory where VB6 id installed, select properties, and in compatibility tab select "Run this program in compatibility mode (Windows XP)" and "Run this program as an administrator"

Follow these steps:

  • Create a 0-byte file in the C:\Windows directory called msjava.dll.
  • Change the compatibility settings for Visual Basic (to get it to run a little more smoothly under Windows 7) by browsing to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98, right-clicking the VB6.exe file, and selecting properties.
  • On the Compatibility tab, check the following:
    1. [Run V6.0 In Window 7] Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
    2. Disable Visual Themes
    3. Disable Desktop Composition
    4. Disable display scaling on high DPI settings

I had been facing the same issue since long, and due to this i was not able to upgrade my laptop to Win7 or 8, finally i resolved the issue, just go to the Root Directory where VB6 id installed, select properties, and in compatibility tab select "Run this program in compatibility mode (Windows XP)" and "Run this program as an administrator" Best of Luck
