Exposition Error Message: "Incompatible PICCLIP.VBX" (135248)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exposition for Windows 1.0
This article was previously published under Q135248

SYMPTOMS

When you run Microsoft Exposition, you may receive the following error message:
PICCLIP.VBX is incompatible

CAUSE

This problem occurs if you are running a Visual Basic 2.0 program that is using an older version of the file Picclip.vbx when you start Microsoft Exposition.

Microsoft Exposition is designed to run completely from the compact disc. This means that Microsoft Exposition will not automatically update an older version of the file Picclip.vbx located elsewhere on your system. Although Exposition is designed to use Picclip.vbx from the compact disc, if an older Visual Basic application is running, and the file Picclip.vbx is in memory, you will receive the error message described above.

WORKAROUND

To avoid receiving this error message when you run Microsoft Exposition, do the following:
  1. Close all programs or utilities that are running in Windows.
  2. In File Manager, use the Search command on the File menu to search for all copies of the file Picclip.vbx on the computer.
  3. Locate the newer version of Picclip.vbx in the Pcexpo folder on the Exposition disc.
  4. Copy the newer version of Picclip.vbx over the older versions found on the computer's hard disk.
You can now run the Visual Basic application, and run Microsoft Exposition without receiving an error message.
