Visual Basic with Windows Vista Ultimate Help?

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate. I installed Visual Basic 6.0 but it says "cannot access system registry" whenever I try to load the ADO and Datagrid component. Microsoft claims that this version of Visual Basic is still supported in Vista. What else can I do to resolve this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

No.





You may also try to get Visual Basic 2005 or later, all of which works in the .NET Framework.
