Tabctl32.ocx isn't compatible with my computer

Steve Trzcinsk #1 / 8	Tabctl32.ocx isn't compatible with my computer Please help ! (VB5, Win 95) I've got an app which uses the TABCTL32.ocx, and it installs on numberous machines fine. But when I try to install it on a particular machine and run the app, the program crashes when it tries to load the TABCTL32 control. - It's giving me an error - 50003 - Unexpected error. We've tried everything - re-building and re-loading the app, and even registering the control manually. There's something peculiar about this machine, but I don't know what it is. If I make a little test application with just the tab control on it in it's default state, then it works fine, but once I change the default settings in the control (e.g. the number of tabs), then I get the infamous crash. I am completely stumped over this one. Anyone with a clue about this one - it would be greatfully appreciated. -- Steve Trzcinski

I installed my VB5 under my new Win98 PC and when I try to open (and even to design, of course) a form with a tab control, VB just tells me that there's is no license information on my PC about that control... "Unable to load the control Tab_... ; unfound license" (translated from French). The project works fine on other PC's under Win95... Installing and reinstalling VB doesn't work... What can I do? Register manually? How can I do that? Thanks for answering...

Steve Trzcinsk #3 / 8	Tabctl32.ocx isn't compatible with my computer Thanks to all who responded to my original thread, We've tried all the things suggested to no avail, as well as hunting through the MS Knowledge-base and trying Sheridan. We've even tried re-installing the OS, this only provides a temporary fix. (suggested via e-mail reply) We've identified that it's something to do with Fujitsu hardware and IBM's AS400 com program - Client Access. We tripped over what seems to be a robust solution, though by accident, and we'd appreciate if anyone can explain how and why it works............ it goes like this. After installing the app onto the user's machine (and with IBM's Client Access program installed on the same machine) , build an app with a tabbed list box in it. Install the app onto the problem machine and the problem goes away. I can't explain why it works - but it does. Any explainations with a possibly more elegant work around would be appreciated Thanks Steve Trzcinski --
