'Please wait while Windows Configures Microsoft Publisher 2002' + VB6 Controls
I'm not sure this is quite the right category, but i guess it has *something* to do with office so neway..
Whenever i open a program that uses VB6 Controls, ie, the listview, it comes up with a window saying Windows Installer... 'Please wait while windows configures Microsoft Publisher 2002'. i can either cancel this dialog 3 times before it disapears and loads the normal program, or i can let it go do whatever its doing and then it'll load the program. Cancelling this is annoying, as i have to do this everytime i try to open a prog with it. Letting it go, will only fix it until i next reboot/shut down. cos when i get back on, it returns. This was happening annoylingly for a long time but it had a brief period where it went away just recently, and i thought it had finally gone (i didnt do anything in particular to fix it tho, musta been part of other stuff i did). but its back again, i think it returned when i open visual studio 6 again (vb6)... i wanna know how to fix it, or stop it or w/e. As i said above, i narrowed it down to something to do with VB6 Controls, but it doesn't apply to all VB6 Controls either. I currently have Microsoft Publisher Xp/2002 Installed.

*bump* any1?
I just had something similar happen to a client of mine:
When the user opens up a particular form (and only this particular form) he gets this:
"Please wait while Windows configures appxxx"
"the feature I am trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"
The application is not the application that he is currently using (the one I wrote), nor is it a Microsoft application. Â The form this happens on is special only in that it contains a Rich Text Box, where none of the other forms have one.
Do you use Rich Text Boxes in your app?

Nup, doesn't use Rich Text Boxes, on the form the only controls are a few listviews, frames, tabstrips, command buttons and textboxes. not rich ones tho.
