Hi Carey.

My name is Gary and i live in southwest Florida. I have a program that calls for Video Basic 6.0 (aka vbrun 60 exe a Windows download) I guess this download is not combatable with Windows XP. Do you know a way around this or is there another download that i can try?

Thanks is advance, Gary

Hi Gary.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no incompatibility with VISUAL basic (**NOT** "VIDEO" basic) and Windows XP. You may need to download the Visual Basic components.

My recommendation would be to contact the support department of the software manufacturer and ask them to provide it or how they recommend you acquire it in order to run their software.

Thanks for writing,

Carey
