Why will my app. work on every computer but one? 1

[majorbroncosfan]

I have a Visual Basic 6.0 application that has been driving me crazy! I have tested and debugged the heck out of it on Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, and XP, but yet it still won't load onto the only computer (2000 Pro) that I need it to. The error I get when I turn off Dr. Watson is:

The exception Floating-point inexact result. (0xc000008f) occurred in the application at location 0x77e8f142.

I have really tried everything and, like I said, it works on every computer but the one on which I need it to. I have made sure all of the .dll libraries are loaded and the proper VB modules are available.

Does anybody have any insight on this?

You could have some bad hardware that is causing the problem.
Does it work on one Win 2k Pro machine but not another?

Lots of reasons...

may be bcos of the system settings...
mayb because of incorrect dlls...
Tried replacing the RAM? is it possible for u do that? All the Best

Yes, it does work on other Windows 2000 machines. However, there is a lot of 3rd-party software on this person's computer and it was an upgrade from Windows 98.

Might be worth checking in your project (Project/Properties/Compile/Advanced Optimisation) that none of the boxes are checked!

None of these boxes are checked.

Try Numega software .There're a lot of tools to debug/control one's application.

Have you checked Windows 2000 permissions? Are you running the program under the same user account on both W2K computers? If so, does that user have the same permissions on both computers? File system: are they both NTFS or not? If NTFS, check file permissions too.

Make sure no win98 drivers/dlls are remaining from that upgrade. I don't know how to check that though

Last resort: try a clean install of W2K (plus same service packs) on a second disk on that troubled pc. Then install your app (it will probably work). Install the other software packages and check that your progarm still works after each one.

Shut down PC... open your trusty jar of iron filings... pour an ample amount of filings all over the motherboard... return power to PC. Wait until smoke eminates from vents in the case. Power off the PC again, vacuum out the iron filings. PC will not run ANY software now... if it still does, repeat from beginning...

Now have the I/S manager submit a request to Purchasing (who's job it is to ensure you don't get what you need) and request a new computer. Problem solved in 3 to 12 weeks. Who could ask for more?
