I have a VB3 app that works as it should on Windows 2000 but gives some strange output when run on Windows 2003. App has some dll's and VBX controls in the System folder but nothing that is installed in the tradtional sense. I have tried using compatibility mode to no avail. Is there any major differneces between to OS's on there handling of VB3 apps?
 
VB3 is a 16-bit environment (from what I recall) which I think Windows 2003 has done away with. I remembered having a hard time moving our 16-bit VB apps to 2003/XP even in compatibility mode. Time to either re-compile under VB6 32-bit or stay on Win2K
