Client Wont compile...

[halla]

Just trying to compile both to make sure they do before I do anything. Server went ok. Client says Library is missing and highlights... DX As New DirectX7

I downloaded the latest DX. I have Vista. I dont really see how I am missing DirectX. Any help?

[halla]

Ok I got that fixed. Compiled. Loaded server. Loaded client made test account and character. Logged in with test character and this comes up...

---------------------------
Mirage
---------------------------
Run-time error '429':

ActiveX component can't create object
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------


Whats this mean and what should I do? Am I having these problems cause I have Vista?

Test it in VB6 and tell us there the error is. My guess is picscreen for some reason.

Code:

' Initialize direct draw
    Set DD = DX.DirectDrawCreate("")

Weird. I downloaded the dll said. I put it in my System32 folder and after that it compiled find. I looked and its referenced already.

Any ideas?

open Command prompt (run as administrator) -> regsvr32 dx7vb.dll
