 Help with Threed32.ocx Licensing problem

        Could Someone Please help me with the following problem.  I
have used the SSPanel from the Sheridan "threed32.ocx" control in
previous app's.  I had to reinstall VB5 Pro edition on my new Pent ll
300 mhz system, and now I get a message stateing that I don't have the
proper licensing for that control.
        I have tried everything to fix this from Uninstalling VB5,
running Regclean.exe, a program called vbcmpfix.exe (which supposidly
tells VB5 to detect the proper licesed controls), I even tried to
manually delete the file "threed32.ocx" and then recopy the file from
the VB5 CD.  Nothing I do will work.
        Also, Now that I did all that playing around, If I try to
reload the VBsp3.patch to update my version of VB5, I get an error
stateing that the file VBa5.dll is not correct error # 445 what ever
that means.

If anyone knows how to fix this I would really appreaciate the help

Thanks

Hi Dave:

  I can understand your frustration since I've been through this myself.
First of all: there's a readme file on the VB5 disk (in tools\controls). It
explains what you need to do in order to make the ocx's work.

  To register Threed32.ocx drag it and drop it into RegSvr32.exe in your
windows\system directory. To update the license information in your registry
(and that is what you were missing) double-click Vbctrls.reg on the VB5 disk
(again in tools\controls). If the .REG file extension is not associated with
any application, you will need to do so before you can continue: in Explorer
go into menu view\options and set up a new type with .REG extension. The
action is "Merge". The app is RegEdit.exe.

  From that point on you can start using the "old" 3D controls again. As to
your VB error: someone else may know what caused it. But if in doubt I would
re-install VB5 and SP3.
