Visual basic crashes when viewing form

[Bandish 555]

I have a computer with Windows XP and everything was normal until yesterday. I don't know what went wrong with my computer. Everytime i open an existing form in Visual Basic, my computer will crash. Either it will show me a BSOD and reboot instantly or it will just freeze until i do a hard reboot. What may be the problem? Can anyone help with this Visual basic crashes when viewing form problem?? Thanks in advance...

Was there something wrong with the computer before you started getting this weird problem? Like sudden restarting of computer or a power failure, or may be a windows error for a corrupt file? Does this happen only when viewing the VB form? or even happens when doing something else?

No, no other time the computer does this. But this happens only when i open an existing VB form or click on a new and open a new form. What may be the problem? Is it something related to VB or Windows? Help!

I guess its a problem related to VB APIs that is responsible for displaying forms correctly. I suggest you to re-install visual basic and see if that helps. I would recommend you un-install VB from same mode and then install it from normal mode...
