The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exposition for Windows, version 1.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

For more information about how to perform this task in Windows, see your Windows
printed documentation or online Help.
