Windows VISTA T_T

What can I say.. I didn't realize the plugin frontend wont work in windows Vista but worked in XP.. well I believed the guys who had this problem.. but couldn't do much since I didn't have Vista. and I thought it's just isolated incidents as other users don't have this problem. but now I have one with my new laptop. it gives me the same error message. "ActiveX can't create object, error '429'"

the cause for this problem is that this version of windows don't have the DirectX runtime for VB like the others (where it was by default I guess with XP)

just download "dx8vb.dll" put it inside system32 directory. i.e "C:\Windows\System32\"

then press windows key on the keyboard with R (or goto cmd.exe in Accessories Run it as Administrator) then write: "regsvr32.exe dx8vb.dll" it should work..

I am sorry for this everyone who got this problem. the blaming finger goes toward MICROSOFT. Microsoft keeps impressing me with every stupid release of windows the first impression I got with Vista is childesh OS, it's more worse than the first impression I got when I saw XP.. they keep the user away from dealing with technical stuff, the best OS for me is Windows 98SE.. but alas. I don't use Anymore. I should go on with my life.. I guess.
