PRB: VB/VB Apps Won't Run if Windows NT OLE Service StoppedLast reviewed: September 29, 1997Article ID: Q129800 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSIf the OLE service under Windows NT is stopped, when you attempt to start Visual Basic or an application written with Visual Basic, you'll see this error:
"Unexpected error; quitting"Or, if the OLE service is stopped while Visual Basic or an application written with Visual Basic is running and you attempt to use an OLE control in Visual Basic, you'll see this error:
"Unable to create embedded object" CAUSEVisual Basic uses OLE extensively for controls, data access, and even internal communication. The OLE Service is a necessary component for Visual Basic, but it is not absolutely necessary for this service to be running under Windows NT. It may be stopped to increase the overall performance of other tasks. If this is done, Visual Basic and Visual Basic applications will not run.
STATUSThis behavior is by design.
