rte 429 with vista

[Fabzy]

Ok i get this while using vista, its rte 429 active x cannot create component, i bealive its because i need to get direct x 7 which i can seem to do because when i download it it says my windows version is not compaitable with the setup package, so i cant really win either way, iv tried getting DX7VB.DLL and registering it, it was succesful in registering but still get teh same error, iv also registered teh libary files.

I can assure you this is not a problem from the code in the engine as it was coded by robin lol

Please can any 1 help

What do you mean me?

I haven't touched any of the released sources.

3.0.3 + 3.0.7 are before my time, MSE1 was when I was a newb and MSE2 is Williams.

All I do is administrate the forums.

If Robin has used any controls that are no longer supported in Vista (or you are missing the DLL/OCX for any of said controlls) you will get that error because, as the error states, ActiveX can not create the object.

DX7 causes it if it's not registered.

Yeah, but I meant it's not an unsupported control or anything, all he has to do is register it.

[Rezeyu]

He also needs to have DX7 installed, which he says he can't do.

But I did, and others have, so I'm not sure why.
