VB apps for NT 4.0, under 2000 or XP

Lincster
I wrote some apps for NT 4. 0 using VB 6. 0. Those apps when run under Win2000 or XP have video problems. For example my file menus on top are initially missing and then they appear, but you cannot click on them or anything and they are on top covering another part of the program.

After not going to Windows Update for many moons, I decided to give it a look. Now I have WinXP SP1 installed but was alarmed to see about 30 updates still available on the site. I am still a pitiful modem dweller at home and can't be bothered d'loading the specific updates at work, burning them etc.

CPU/mobo for NT 4.0

Bughandle
Hi, i am looking for a rockstable motherboard/cpu combo for 19 industrial case. It should be extendable to 1-2 GB RAM and ATA5 Harddisks. CPU speed needn't be top, 1. 7 - 2. 5 Ghz should be fine. RAID 1 onboard would be important.

Oh the joys of 'Plug n Pray'

Curley_Boy
I've recently inherited my parent's old Pentium PC (they've just bought a brand spanking new one for vid editing ). So I thought this would be a brilliant oppotunity to set up a dedicated NT file/print server and have a separate partition for Win95 and ol DOS games.

Help. At a site.

CyberGenX
I am at a site trying to fix this computer. I need win. com for Windows 98 1st Edition. It has been deleted by mistake. The 98CD is scratched and I can barely retrieve any files from and cannot do a new install.
