PUB: "File THREED.VBX is Out of Date" Error Starting Publisher (173022)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Publisher 97, when used with:
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT
This article was previously published under Q173022 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to run Microsoft Publisher, you may receive this error
message:
The file C:\Windows\System\THREED.VBX is out of date. This program
requires a newer version.
CAUSE
This error message appears when either of the following is true:
- An older version of Threed.vbx is on the hard disk and may still
be in memory.
- or -
- The Threed.vbx file may be damaged.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, search the hard disk for all copies of Threed.vbx. The
correct Threed.vbx, which is installed by Publisher 97, should be located in the
\Windows\System folder and it should have a modified date of August 6, 1996 or
later. The Threed.vbx file that ships with Publisher 97 has the following
additional specifications:
File Size: 64,432 bytes
File Version: 3.0.1.0
Product Version: 3.0.0.0
If you find a copy of Threed.vbx in the \Windows folder, rename it. If the
Threed.vbx file in the \Windows\System folder does not have the correct size
and/or date, copy this file from the root folder of the Publisher 97 compact
disc.
MORE INFORMATION
Publisher uses the Threed.vbx file to display three-dimensional controls. Other
programs also use this file, so this problem may occur after you install
additional software on your computer.
