VB Porting Issues

Dear Lazy-web,

I was hoping that someone out there remembers good old VB4. I have an issue when helping out to port a VB4 system to XP. The thing is that I've got a really old system for managing club members and race results that is used by the local bicycle club. I did not write this system, and I'm helping them for free. Anyhow, it uses VB4 + Crystal Reports 1.x.

Installing these tools on Windows XP works on some machines, but not all. For instance, Swedish XP installations seems to crash Crystal Reports (somewhere in ntdll.dll). Just starting the app, that is.

Does anyone know what is causing this and how to circumvent it? I would be very pleased...
