VB6 IDE will not load any forms

[MichaelaLee]

Hi Everyone,
Today I installed an app that also installed the MSDE and every since then, I have not been able to load up any forms from any project. Actually, if I start a new project, and open an empty form, it seems to be ok. But once I start adding controls, I get the following error:
The instruction "0X004afa89" referred memory at "0x00000000". The memory count not be read.
What the heck is going on.
I also have .NET installed on this machine.
I tried un-installing VB and then installing it, and I get the same problem. Anyone have any ideas. THanks for any help.

Hi Everyone,
I have a little more info on this problem. I REALLY NEED SOME HELP PLEASE. I did some testing and when I start a new project I can add a few controls to the new form, but then I'll get that error again and VB crashes. I also looked in one of the forms I was trying to open and its log file read as follows:
Line 690: Property in lblOrderDate could not be loaded.
Line 804: Property in txtOrderTotal could not be loaded.

No mention of what property. In all the log files, it has the same basic error message.

Now, I un-installed .NET, MSDE and sql server from this machine. But I still the crashes from the VB IDE. Can anyone please help. Thanks
Michael

Just a thought, have you reinstalled Service Pack 6?

Two strings walk into a bar. The first string says to the bartender: 'Bartender, I'll have a beer. u.5n$x5t?*&4ru!2[sACC~ErJ'. The second string says: 'Pardon my friend, he isn't NULL terminated'.
