Hi i'm a new VB programmer . I was having a problem with all the games on this site, everytime I try to run one it says '429' runtime error active X can't create object. Can someone help me?
This problem is frequently cause by version problems with ActiveX controls/libraries. No doubt your PC has an old version of some required library. You might try asking one of the developers for a full install of their game (sans DirectX); this might solve the problem.
Hmm, well, if its with one game that might be the case, but I see that error most often when its a DirectX problem
Try getting the latest dlls for the game files and stuff, but you should also try updating your video card drivers. Do _any_ vb directx applications work on your computer?
Check the references for the project. It will show you what libraries are missing.
To do this open the project and under the project menu select references. Any missing libraries will have the text MISSING (I believe as a prefix to the library name).
I wouldn't have thought it would be an OCX as most directx apps render full screen. You would also get an error message in the design enviroment when you tried to open the form that contained the missing ocx control (VB will very unhelpfully convert the missing control to a picturebox :) )
I only have .exe files of VB stuff. Coud some one give me a link to some stuff which can be opened from Visual basic (since no games work apart from tic tac toe). Thanks
