Visual Basic Express - Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6

1 New Member

Need help! I installed Visual Basic Express 2008 on a Windows Vista Premium machine with 2.4 GHZ and 2 gigabyte of RAM. I start VB Express and choose File|New|Windows Forms Application.

VB churns for a bit and then disappers from the screen. I have uninstalled, reinstalled and cannot find anything on the web that remotely resembles the same problem I'm having. I never had a beta installed on this machine and the task manager tells me VB is not running in the background after it 'disappears'.

I get the same result from VC++, VC# but not Visual Web Developer. Also, the other templates in VC++ and VC# work fine.

Any clue?

Its a buggy softwer still, i'd recomend you to try with vb express 2005, and dont upgrade to 2008 until its finished.
