Hi guys, I know this is sort of an outdated and random question but if anyone could help i'd greatly appreciate it.
i'm using an older program that I've used for years to chat within a gaming community. seems it was written in visual basic and it's telling me I need winsock or some oxc registered to use it. It worked fine on windows 7 and i upgraded to 10 and now it's giving me an error
[SOLVED] visual basic dll file issue

Hi Avon,
Haha, this is funny, haven't seen a question like this in a while, however it's pretty simple to register an *.ocx and I'll assume it's MSWINSCK.ocx:
Start -> Run -> RegSvr32 C:\PathToOldProgram\MSWINSCK.ocx (or said *.ocx) file and hit enter.
Should say it registered successfully and allow you to use your program again. If it gives you another RegSvr32 error upon opening it for a different ocx, just register that one as well.
Cheers.
