I installed visual studio 6 pro recently and I installed vc++ along with vb. I installed VC with almost everything. When the installation was done, there was very little hard disk space left, so I uninstalled vc++. I thought everything was fine but when I was running one of my vb programs and it crashed an odd debugger came up and asked me if I wanted to let the program crash or to debug it. So I tried the debug option and it brought up vc++ with a bunch of assembly in it! This is very un-nerving to a lowly vb programmer. My question is how do I get rid of it? I checked in the add/remove software and I didn't find anything that would be of help. When I removed vc++, I removed everything that was not necessary to run vb so I am not sure how the debugger remained.

I am running win NT 4.0.

Any help is greatly appreciated...

run regedit,
found the below key branch:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug,
empty the Debugger item
 
Thank you very much! That did the trick....
