347425 2005-04-22 03:52:00 Using XPpro. Having downloaded a talking clock programme for a nearly blind friend, I get this error message.
"Runtime error 429 active X component can't create object"
Have downloaded and installed VB 6.0 runtime, which it said was neccessary and the clock has installed an icon in the start menu.
When I click on this icon the above message comes up.
Any help appreciated...Ron..

347427 2005-04-22 05:21:00 It appears to be a security problem. Try a Google search with "vb6 error429 site:microsoft.com". The second link that gives suggests a small programme you can download (VB6Cli.exe) which fixes one form of security problem with VB. It can't do any harm to try that. ;)

Otherwise, it might be due to the "new improved" XP security. :(

Your search - "vb6 error429 site:microsoft.com". - did not match any documents.

Thanks for the reply Graham, but no luck with Google, any ideas? Ron..

Unfortunately the keyboard I was using had been used for playing some game here in the library, and the space bar wasn't working very well . :badpc: Try a space between "error" and "429" . Or even look for "VB6cli . exe" .

When someone gives you a search string, you can usually assume that it has worked . Sometimes the search engine's cache can change but that's rare . If a string doesn't give the expected results, that might be because it's been mistyped, so it's worth trying minor modifications until it does . Not everyone is infalllible and a perfect typist like me . :)

Not even me . :rolleyes: :D :thumbs:

347432 2005-04-24 23:00:00 Hi Guys, Many thanks to all who have offered help, but have tried them all and it still comes up with the same error, so have given up.
Regards Ron..

347433 2005-04-24 23:52:00 I know this doesn't solve your problem (the error you were getting could be anything from an unregistered VB component to ????)

Have a look at this clock

Multilingual Talking Clock (www.download.com)

Its free, it works on XP SP2 (I downloaded it and tried it out for you) even although it says its only for Win 9x/ME/2000

Might help you and your friend out :)

Regards Ron..
If you are wondering why I don't do it for him, he is near Wellington and I am in Auckland...
