Wierd problem running DB
« on: August 07, 2005, 03:01:30 PM »
Ok strange one for you. Not sure if this is even the right forum but what the heck.

I recently installed a badly written VB program. It seems to have done something horrible to my system like overwritten a bunch of VB files somewhere as whenever I run DB this other program runs as well. I deleted the offending program and now it runs an installer for it as it cant find the required files to run it. I expunged all traces of it from my system and it still does it.

So whats the deal, any ideas? What files is it likely to have overwritten? And where can I get them.

Is it listed in Add/Remove programs? Are there entries maybe lurking in your registry? Maybe it overwrote component (.ocx) files? You should be able to sort it by reinstalling vb if you can.
:D Ulciscor :D

I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.
