SYMPTOMS
========

When you quit Visual Basic 6.0, the following error message appears:

  This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

When you click details in the dialog box that displays this error message, the
following message appears:

  Invalid page fault in module VB6.exe at <address>.

CAUSE
=====

Visual Basic is configured to load the Source Code Control Add-in when the
program is started, but Ssscc.dll is not correctly registered in the system
registry.

RESOLUTION
==========

You can use one of the following two methods to resolve this issue:

- If Microsoft Visual SourceSafe is integrated with Visual Basic:

  Click Start, and then click Run. Type the following commands in the text box:

  regsvr32 "<x>:\<path>\ssscc.dll"

  where <x>:\<path> is the location of the Ssscc.dll file

- If Microsoft Visual SourceSafe is not integrated with Visual Basic:

  1. Start Visual Basic.

  2. From the Add-Ins menu, click Add-In-Manager.

  3. Under Available Add-Ins, select Source Code Control.

  4. In the Loaded Behavior option box, clear the Loaded/Unloaded and Load on
     Startup check boxes.

  5. Exit Visual Basic.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The Source Code Control integrates Visual SourceSafe with Visual Basic.

Steps to Reproduce the Behavior
-------------------------------

1. Install Visual Basic and Visual SourceSafe.

2. Unregister Ssscc.dll.

3. Launch Visual Basic, and then quit the program.
