HELP PLEASE! Suddenly Can't View RDC Component at Design Time

Help! This is 200% weird!!!

Six months ago, I created a VB 6 application which includes 1 form, 1 module and 6 RDC report designers. The module sets up the variables. The form is the interface where the user chooses which of the 6 reports they'd like to create. It's worked for months. Suddenly I'm getting errors in the design time environment and when I launch the executable at run-time.

At design time I can open up the VB application fine. If I right click on a designer, I can even view it's code. BUT WHEN I CLICK TO VIEW THE DESIGNER (OR ADD A DESIGNER OR SAVE THE DESIGNER AS A DIFFERENT NAME..), I GET AN APPLICATION ERROR AND IT KICKS ME OUT OF VB ENTIRELY.



Here are the errors...
------------------------------------------------
AT DESIGN TIME WHEN I CLICK TO VIEW ANY ONE OF THE RDC DESIGNERS I CREATED FOR EACH REPORT I GET....

vb6.exe - Application Error

The exception Illegal Instruction
An attempt was made to execute an illegal instruction
(0xc000001d) occurred in the application at location 0x4309fe71

Click on OK to terminate the application
Click on CANCEL to debug the application

Okay Cancel
(both options kill the Visual Basic app)

----------------------------------------------
AT RUNTIME WHEN CRYSTAL REPORT DESIGNER IS CALLED I GET....

Run-time error '-2147417848(80010108)'

Automation error
The object invoked has disconnected from its clients

OK
(kills the run time session)

-----------------------------------------------------

Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? I've searched Microsoft and Seagate's sites for known software conflicts that could have caused this but I haven't been able to find any listed anywhere. I've uninstalled and reinstalled VB6 and Crystal Reports at least 7 or 8 times. But the problem persists.

The really weird part is that when I open the application off a floppy at home, it all opens fine. Sooo.. it must be my PC work environment.

Please Help!
