Cant load Comdlg32.ocx or comctl32.ocx
Once you have done a lot of upgrading you can't go back and unupgrade very
easily without reformating a disk. In the case of VB5 have you applied VB5
SP3? If not do it. If you still have problems there are tools on teh MS web
site to cure some common control problems. Most apps will install comdlg and
comnctl so you likey have a confict there and the pre SP2 VB controls are
not compatible with the post SP2 controls
