I wrote a vocabulary flash-card type program in MS Visual
Basic 6.0 on a 98SE computer. The program ran fine on
95/98/ME/2000. For it to run on XP, I had to move a copy of
the winmm.dll from one directory to another, because MS had
put the file in a different place, but after that it ran
find on XP too.
Now a friend, who runs the same program in another town, has
switched to Vista and when he tries to run the flash-card
program he gets a "File not found" error. It would really
have been nice if MS had told him WHICH file could not be
found. He copied winmm.dll into the same folder as the
program, as needed in XP, but that did not help.
Is there an error log or some such thing that might have the
name of the missing file? I don't have a clue on what to
tell my friend, and I don't have access to Vista to test it
myself.
Any suggestions appreciated.
