I am unable to open Visual Basic 6.0 anymore. I receive Unexpected Error; Quitting error after Visual Basic splash screen appears. This problem started after I had to reboot computer manually. Strange enough, other applications from Visual Studio 6 can be started normally. Do you have some information about this error in Visual Basic 6.0?
This is documented problem and detailed information can be found on Microsoft knowledge base. This problem can occur from two reasons: missing MSO97RT.DLL and MRT7ENU.DLL files which are essential to run Visual Basic or if you are trying to start Visual Basic from a network "Administrator" setup. Missing files can be found in \OS\System directory on Visual Basic installation CD. You just need to copy them to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA folder. Considering second possible reason, only way to solve it is to install Visual Basic locally because it is not designed to run in shared mode.
