Displaying a Form in Windows 7 and Windows 8 does not translate to full compatibility of VB6. A friend of mine had issues installing VB6 IDE on Windows 8 that’s when I learned that The Visual Basic 6.0 IDE is no longer supported as of Apby MS. My Notify Icon on System Tray used to hang in Windows 7 and vista even when I exit the app but works well in Windows XP. Some of the issues I have had with my old VB6 app in Windows Vista and Windows 7 is sockets communication, I think this is due to hardened security in Vista and Win 7. I have had a lot of problems with my Old VB6 App and immediately switched to C Sharp the learning curve was rather tiring though, but now I am very comfortable.

It has to be said that VB6 isn’t fully compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7 any other statement would be misleading.
