Out of Memory VB on XP

[Tim Titchmarsh]

Hi,

I've had an app that has been running for years on all
platforms from Windows 95 to Windows 2000. Trying to run
on Windows XP has caused a few problems. I can build and
run fine on my dev machine (XP) and run the exe on
several other XP machines OK. However on an laptop and
another desktop (both XP Pro) I get Out of Memory errors
on startup. I have build the exe on both XP and 2000
machines with the same results. I have tried to narrow
down the exact spot, it seems to be when loading an
mdichild form. I am using VB6 SP5, with merge modules
from Wise to create the installation. Running in admin
mode has no effect.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Tim

Does that MDI child contain a RichTextBox?

There's only one version of Riched32.dll that
you should distribute and that's version 4.0.993.4 that's in ...Microsoft
Visual Studio\VB98\Wizards\PDWizard\Redist

Q197580 - INFO Distribution Issues with Riched32.dll
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q197/5/80.ASP

and... this is what happens if you ignore the issues...

Q236286 - PRB Out of Memory Error Message Using the Rich Textbox Control
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q236/2/86.ASP

basically, if you distribute the wrong version, you may render the users
system unusable (temporarily at least).

Ken,

steer. I'll keep plugging away

It would help if you said what is on the form. I believe there were similar
problems with some grid controls. I remember seeing them here in the past.
