PRB: "Error 7 - Out of Memory " When Loading Books Online

• Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions for Windows, version 5.0
• Microsoft Visual Studio 97

SYMPTOMS

The following error message appears when you attempt to load Books Online:

Error 7 - Out of Memory

CAUSE

Books Online is attempting to use an older version of one of the following files:

Control	File Name	Version Number
Windows Common Controls ActiveX Control DLL	comctl32.ocx	5.0.37.14
Common Dialog ActiveX Control	comdlg32.ocx	5.0.37.14
Microsoft OLE Property Support DLL	olepro32.dll	5.0.4055.1

Older versions of these files may be installed by other software programs, such as the software included with IOMEGA Zip drives or Jaz drives. The correct versions of these files should be installed in your system directory.

RESOLUTION

Unregister these files using REGSVR32 with the /U option and then register the correct versions in your system directory.

MORE INFORMATION

To prevent ActiveX control conflicts such as this from occurring, remove all other copies of these files from directories other than the system directory. Your system directory should contain the latest versions of ActiveX controls. Register the versions in your system directory.
