Hey guys
So i'm trying to play some older games, prefurably those from lighttech
interactive. However when I try to run them, I get the error, runtime error
429 active x component can't create object. Is there any way to fix this? I'm
running windows 7. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
p.s. I was going to post this on a game bord, however I thought this would
be a better place do to the nature of the problem

Hi,
Try installing the VB6 Runtime redistributable package. This doesn't come with Win 7 natively:
