VB 6.0 Shortcut Keys Not Displaying or Working Correctly

I have reinstalled Visual Studio 6.0 and service packs and am programming in
VB 6.0 on XP machine. Since re-install of Visual Studio any shortcut keys
created on menus using the & character fail to work correctly. Only the top
menu level shows the highlighted (underlined) key correctly. Pressing the
correct letter appears to work, but the proper letter is not underlined. In
addition if I identify shortcut keys (CNTRL + D) for an item the key
combination does not work.

I'm afraid you're unlikely to find much help here. It's possible though.

This newsgroup is aimed at people who use the dotnet version of VB.

ie v2002 (v7.0) or higher.
