I upgraded to VB6 and was again able to compile my program without a
problem.

When I installed VB6 SP1, I could no longer create an EXE file. The VB6
compiler gave an "invalid page fault"

I tried to recompile with VB5, but it also gave an "invalid page fault".

I then uninstalled VB6 and expected VB5 to compile my program. I got the
familiar "Invalid Page Fault".

I then uninstalled VB5 and reinstalled VB5. I got an "invalid page fault"
again.

Out of desperation, I uninstalled VB5, deleted all DLLs and OCXs from my
WINDOWS directory. I then reinstalled WIN98, VB5, VB5SP3, Office 97, IE4,
3rd party controls etc.

I then compiled my "bad" program without getting an "Invalid page fault".
Victory!

Not knowing when to quit and remembering that my problem appeared only after
installing VB6 SP1, I decided to reinstall VB6.

Bad mistake, the "Invalid page fault" returned !!!!

That's where I am now.

Someone please tell me that suicide is NOT my only option?

I posted this earlier this week.  It appears, from the emails I've gotten, that
failing to uninstantiate objects is the major culprit for the "Invalid Page
Fault" error.

1) I ran into a similar problem. It was caused by a by an Object that I failed
to set = Nothing in code. In my particular case, it was a formless Timer. I
suggest you go through all your code and ensure that every object you
instantiate is also being uninstantiated.

2) I also read in one of the newsgroups that the SP1 is causing problems within
VB6. You may want to keep an eye on this newsgroup for some more info on this.
(I haven't installed SP1 <bg>)

Please refrain !   There are still other good things in life...

COM may be a good idea but I'm always frustrated that the operating system
be so frail. A big house of cards. Even Microsoft does not know how to play
well that game of DLL and OCX...!

Oh, I was about to forget the system registry! The Win98's utility to clean
that mess is a half baked and timid attempt that leaves many corners quite
dirty (still full of bad and/or old references of DLLs that, for sure, do
not exist in the system).

With COM++++, things could go better, don't know.
