This could be a version problem with COMCAT.DLL . (Ver 5.x.xxxx)
Unregister the Dll using Regsvr32 /u comcat.dll
Rename the Dll to *.old
Copy from your VB CD the original file (comcat.dll ver. 4.71) to the System
directory
Register the Dll using Regsvr32 comcat.dll
Reboot to get the new settings "online".
This happen when comcat-dll is version 5.x instead of ver 4.71.
(By some reason it miss some of the registration info for the VB5 dll's, and
OCX's..)
Give this a try.
