Laggy Buttons in VB6 Solution

Posted on
Well, I got my new laptop since I needed it for my course, upon installing Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 some problems occurs, it hangs up and doesn't complete the "proper" installation. Anyway, what's the use of Google.

Therefore, I "googled" it and found a solution. Installing it in Windows 8 seems troublesome.

Here's the installation guide below:

  1. UAC
    1. Yes
  2. Program Compatibility Assistant
    1. "Run the program without getting help"
  3. Installation Wizard
    1. Next
  4. End User License Agreement
    1. I accept the agreement
    2. Next
  5. Product Number and User ID
    1. Enter product number
    2. Enter Your name and Your company's name
    3. Next
  6. Setup Options
    1. Install Visual Basic 6.0 Enterprise Edition
    2. Next
  7. Choose Common Install Folder
    1. default location; change if needed
    2. Next
  8. Program Compatibility Assistant
    1. ACMSetup is run at this point to actually install VB6
    2. Select "Run the program without getting help"
  9. Visual Basic 6.0 Enterprise Setup
    1. Click Continue on the opening screen.
    2. Click Ok at the bottom of the Product ID screen
    3. pause while setup searches for installed components
  10. Choose the installation you want
    1. I selected custom for this installation. For the options, I chose Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 and Active X. the Data Access option is selected, and cannot be unselected.
    2. change path if desired. I used the default path

Setup will go through a few steps, but with a surprise at the end.

setup checks for necessary disk space
...
setup begins installation process
...
setup is updating your system

At this point, setup will hang. Anyway, don't panic...

Open up Task Manager, and kill the process marked as Not Responding. After you have killed that task (and only that task!), close the task manager; we're done with that!

The good news, the everything is installed! All we have to do is make an adjustment. 

or this one:

2. Ensure your user has administrative rights on the computer.
3. Run the Setup.exe file in the Visual Studio Installer.

Put a tick mark in the check box, and make sure the Windows XP (service pack 3) option is selected in the drop down. You'll also want to put a check mark in the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings and the Run this program as an administrator check boxes, towards the bottom of the window.

Finally click Apply, then Ok, then Ok again.

Splinterlands: Water Deck for Beginners

Splinterlands has been fun for me!  I love strategy games, coming from NarutoArena way back 2000s, this NFT game is enjoyable. Being a beginner, to get your rank up from Bronze III to Bronze II is hard compared to Bronze II to I. I guess because in B3 the only ruleset is Standard (no restrictions except mana costs) making it hard to select/build your splinter in battle.  In this post, I'll be sharing my water deck. I rented the cards below. Summoner : Alric Stormbringer +1 Magic to splinters and just 3 mana cost. This makes this summoner great. Tank :  Lobstradamus   For its hit points at 9 and ability to reduce damage from melee and range attacker, and just 6 mana cost this is a great tank although it is slow. Adding the +1 magic from Alric, you have 2 direct damage per attack. Support: Venari Wavesmith   This card adds armor to friendly monsters (plus +2 direct damage per turn), although it has 5 mana cost having this gives your low HP splinters protection fr...
