bugs, "Run-time error '50003': Unexpected error"

by **Q29ybmVsaXVz** » Tue, 29 Nov 2005 04:27:06 GMT

Starting an VB 6 compiled application on some computers causes the following
error:
"Run-time error '50003': Unexpected error".
The first form is loaded correctly. Then somewhere in the unloading of the
first form and the loading of the second one, the program crashes...
I tried to following steps:
1. Installing the newest VB 6 Runtimes - no success
2. Trying to catch the error with "on error resume next" - no success, the
application just disappears

On some other pages, I found out that sometimes this happens when gifs are
loaded. But I do not load any gifs. Only jpegs.

Does any one have an idea whats happening here? I would be very happy if
this annoying bug disappears :)

Thanks a lot.
Best wishes
Cornelius

I had this problem once before, but it was literally years ago. It involved
images as well. It had something to do with the image being invalid and
it's colour depth. I wish I could remember more.

It seems that it had something to do with those images not rendering
properly with users running 32 bit color.

My suggestion: Change the colour mode on your computer to different
settings and see if the error still occurs. it may be as simple as changing
the colour depth of your images...but this is just a guess based on what
happened to me back in 1997 or so.

Hi Kevin,

you were right. It's just the icon of a form that lets crash the whole
application... just mad...
thanks a lot.

Kevin --

I couldn't believe my problem was as simple as you suggested in your post
three years ago, so I first tried re-registering OCX files. That didn't work
but then I just tried changing from 16 color to 32 color and viola! Exactly
as you said.
Thanks!

Except that you started a new thread (or it's been long enough that the thread has dropped from the server) and you quoted nothing. You're reply has no context whatsoever...so nobody has a clue what you're talking about.

I remember this actually. Glad it worked out for you. It took me forever
to track that bug back in the day. ;-)

I am having the same problem with CR9 reports. And yes I am using .dsr
files.Can you point me in the right direction for a cure?

Thanks
