Oct 14, 2010Depending on what component is handling the print for you, some of them are not 64 bit ready (i.e. 32 bit only). To use them you must compile your application as 32 bit only. It will then run on the WOW platform that Win7 supplies.
You change this option on the PropertiesCompile screen. Press Advanced Compile Options and review Target CPU:

Using A VB6 Exe With MSComm1 In Vista/Win7?
Jun 12, 2011I used VB6 to create an EXE file that uses MSComm1.The program runs OK in my XP computer and also in my Win7 computer (that has VBE installed).It would not run on my Vista laptop. I installed the VB runtime files (even though Microsoft says they are not compatible with Vista/Win7) but with no success.However, when I installed VBE on the laptop, it now runs the EXE quite happily.Does installing VBE also install a different set of runtime files?Is it posible to distribute my program to my friends who have Vista or Win 7, without them having to first install VBE?

View 1 RepliesWin7 And Session 0 Isolation?
Oct 14, 2011I am making a windows service that will communicate with a local application through named pipes, and with a server through WCF webservice. So the application hosts the WCF service for the local application, and is a client for the webservices. When trying to run this as a service, the whole thing crashes. I have localized the problem to the "Session 0 Isolation" issue?
�If two-way interaction is required, use Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), .NET remoting, named pipes, or any other interprocess communication (IPC) mechanism (excluding window messages) to communicate across sessions. WCF and Remoting have a better security enforcement that will prompt the user (assuming UAC not shut-off) to elevate if needed. But I am not sure what they meen. As far as I know, i cannot create a windows service as WCF.

AxWMPLib Running Under Win7 Or Vista?
Jan 9, 2012I have a program for playing MP3 files using Media Player. The program developed originally under Vista using VBExpress 2010 works fine.
But when I run it under Win7 parts of the program don't work. In both cases the audio is played OK but under Win7 the 'playstatechange' events don't seem to happen!?!
I have put a breakpoint in event and under Vista the events happen...under Win7 the breakpoint is never reached. In both cases I am using VB Express 2010 and running under the debugger. I have seen this problem reported before in the forums but no answer was apparent.

View 1 RepliesGetting Permission To Write To HKCU In Win7?
Feb 9, 2012Here's a drilled-down version of what I'm trying to do.
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim regType As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind = Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.String
Dim regKey As String = "SOFTWAREFOOBAR"
[code]....
On Windows XP, this works fine. On my Windows 7 64 machine, if I simply run the executable normally, it throws an exception - something along the lines that access to HKCUSOFTWAREFOOBAR is denied. I'm typing this from my XP machine so I don't have the exact message at the moment, but that is the gist of it.
Now, if I run the executable in administrator mode, then it works fine. The intuitive explanation is that writing to HKCU requires elevated privileges. But I've run Steam on the Win7 machine, and I'm pretty sure Steam writes to HKCU without needing elevated privileges. Just running it while logged in as an admin is enough. So, is it possible for me to write a program that creates keys in HKCU too, without needing the user to manually invoke admin mode?
How To Adjust System Volume In Win7
Apr 7, 2010I'm trying to make a utility that will fade out the system volume (for when I fall asleep listening to my music). In XP and prior, controlling the system audio was very simple, however, in Vista and 7, I can't figure out how to do it. Because in Windows 7 each application has it's own volume control, lowering the volume doesn't affect the system overall - only the current app. Can anyone point me to a resource how to do this? Every forum posting that I've found on this topic is about XP, and doesn't work under newer versions of Windows.

Sep 11, 2010Lets say I am currently logged into my desktop as two users, One to the local machine and the other to a domain. Each has its own desktop. Each desktop has its own set of icons. I want to essentially hotkey switch users in such a way that my experience is that I end up on the other desktop without having to re-enter my passwords or perform any clicks. In other words. I am on desktop one. I hit lets say "ctrl-Alt-S" and I end up on the other desktop. Any security issues are mute as I am the owner of both login. I want to write this in vb.net and am assuming that I need to use API's.
