I have installed VB6.0 SP6 on a new machine with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I get that same error message as Zampag when I try to access Help by any means. I tried the same install on another older machine with Windows 7 Home and it worked OK. Everything on this new machine works in the IDE except the Help system. I tried rebooting, uninstalling, and reinstalling VB6 and MDSN, but to no avail. I tried to install MDSN 2005, but no luck there. The note from Zampag about registering Context settings is puzzling as I see no evidence of that activity, either on the PC where it works and the PC where it doesn't. My W7 64 comes with a virtual XP mode and I have been using that for program development, but that has disadvantages too. I sure would like to get it going in the W7 64 OS.
