SIGH...Win98, 1G amd cpu, 128 ram, system prints fine in all apps except one. It is a third party software that is used by a client. When you try to print it gives an error that says "Error:429-ActiveX component Can't Create Object". It is NOT a RUNTIME ERROR but just an error. I have reinstalled win98 and the software itself. Any suggestions at all will be greatly appreciated. I really do not wish to format and reload...:(

Just some thoughts,

My guess is that the software is failing to properly register a dll or OCX file (check out Regsvr32.exe), in which case you will have to a lot of detective work. Try calling the software developers and asking if their programtries to register dll or OCX files that are used for printing. Either that or they are using incompatible code for creating some kind of object connection. There is a possibility that they wrote their code for a different VB runtime file. If their code tries to connect to a database object using the wrong code it may result in 429 error that does not specify itself as a run time error.

good luck

Another idea is that they may be using an ActiveX object your system doesn't support. Do you have the latest versions of everything? Check Windows Update to be sure.
Do you use Win98SE? What Service Pack?

Hey, I went to google and found many answers to this problem. So I say go to www.google.com and put the Error:429-ActiveX in the search field. Because I don't know the software I can't give you the exact fix, but the website will be a good start and end.
