Being a bit of a novice at building PCs, I'm wondering of I can get some advice... I have a custom built PC that is powering down at random times, then won't power back on until being unplugged the plugged back in. Is there a diagnostic tool that anyone could recommend that logs activity...

Ok, first of all, I'm a self-taught programmer, so if I'm asking questions that make some of you go "DUH!", please forgive an old man. Evidently I know some, but just not enough to overcome some issues, and am hoping y'all can help. Here's the situation. I've got a simple logging application...

I've NEVER encountered this issue before in all the years that I've been programming VB6, but all of a sudden, all my error handlers are giving up nadda information on error reporting. Typically, Err.Description provides just that, the descriptive text of the error encountered. Erl returns the...

Ok, I've researched it and found a method for using a Word process to spellcheck a textboxes contents, however no matter what I try I just CANNOT get it to ignore the letter case. If it's typed in all lowercase, then it works fine, but uppercase it missing spelling errors altogether. I'm just...

I'm developing a program using VB6 that uses an embedded webbrowser control to display Google Maps, however I keep getting the nag screen that Google maps won't function properly (and it doesn't) with compatibility mode enabled. I've searched and searched and other than a registry hack that...

This may be the wrong forum, but didn't really see any others that seemed appropriate, so sorry if I'm in the wrong place :( Trying to import a CSV file into Google calendar, and even thought I've set the reminder to FALSE, once the import is done, it's automatically setting reminders on each...

This may be an old and obvious question, and even though I searched the FAQ and forum I didn't find what I was looking for. Please excuse this if it's already been answered. I've encountered this many times over the years when working VB6 in my Visual Studios 6 Enterprise edition, and it's...

This may be a forehead slapper, but I've got to ask it anyway because I'm stumped... I need a way to check if a network drive is still available that doens't hang my program up for over a minute if the network went down sometime after the program is ran. Here's what's happening. I have a...

I have a program written in VB6 that checks for an available update on a LAN network drive, and if available, it will copy the newer version from the X drive to the program folder on the C drive. Works just fine on our Win7 computers, but some of the PCs are being upgraded from Win7 to Win10 and...

Ok, I'm at my wits end... this SHOULD be so simple, yet I've beat my head against a brick wall.... I'm trying to set up a function in my project to send emails using Microsoft Outlook 2010, and every code example I find fails. My specs: Windows 7 64bit Visual Basic 6 / Visual Studios 6 I have...

Scratching my head on this one... Some of my customers have a dual-screen setup at their workstations, and some have a single screen. I've got a VB6 program that "remembers" the last screen position and resumes it's location the next time the user starts it up. The problem is that...

Ok, I've worked with this control in the past, and it almost always confuses me for some reason. I'm trying to build a simple app that's a music playlist player. I've got a "playlist" that is a listview control with a list of songs (file path for each in the .tag element), and a media player...

I'm working on a new project and it has the potential of going out to different offices. The trouble is that our tech folks don't coordinate well with what I'm doing, and have several times in the past come in, did an upgrade, and royally jacked up my apps dependency files (incorrect...

A few years back, I had developed an EXTENSIVE, multi-part utility for my workplace using Excel and customized userforms. This app incorporates several OCX and DLL components native to Office and Windows 2000/XP. Our techs have upgraded our office versions to 2007, and now my userforms are...

A friend of mine gave me her 200Gb SATA drive in exchange for trying to get all her hundreds and hundreds of Itunes off the old file system. Problem is, that the only visible partition on the drive is a HP Recovery partition, and it's like 6 or 7 Gb. I KNOW there's more data on there, but I'm...
