I just installed VB6 on a new laptop with XP operating system. Old project files crash and close VB without any message. New forms that I create crash when try to run. Any idea on what I need to do to fix the problem.

Sure. Format, then install Win2000. It works great with VB6. We use XP on our network. My Win2K machine is the only one that's solid in the building. And it's an 'old' 600MHz P3.

Check your Event Viewer logs for clues as to why the crash happened then take it from there.
To access the event viewer go into Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Adnimistrative tools.

There are types of logs: "Application", "Security" and "System". You'll most likely find the clues in the Application log but make sure you check all 3 just to make sure
