Hmm I have no plan about programming...

What are you trying? Serching some subfolders?

but have you tryed running it as Admin?

[sharky]

we ahve a LOT of folders with a certain prefix and tehn a folder name. i want to open the folder that has that specific prefix.

yes i tried to run it as admin. it just crashes to windows... but works great on xp

[cybereality]

Visual basic... yuck...

Anyway, you could try running it in "compatibility mode" (right-click on the program, click the compatibility tab, then choose the OS you want to target). That might help. Also running as admin might also help as well.

found the problem. visual basic express (free) installs a power pack. everything inside that pack is not supposed to work on systems that dont have that pack installed. so i removed those elements and now it works-.
