   Activex and the Microsoft Web Browser Co

   Hello,   
      
   I tried the activex web browser control, shell.explorer.2, and I get an   
   error when going to websites that use flash 10.  The error was a GPF and   
   there is no other information returned.   
      
   I downloaded and installed Visual Basic Express 2008 and built the same web   
   browser using the activex, Microsoft Web Browser control (not the .net   
   control), and when I run that window, there are no errors at all.   
      
   What are the differences between VB and other languages that would account   
   for the same activex control working in VB but not other languages for pages   
   that have flash 10?   
      
   I'm using 32-bit xp   
   IE8   
   All web pages run fine in the browser directly.   
      
   The web browser for all languages was very simple, a text box for the URL, a   
   'Go' button, and the web control.  The only activex method used was   
   'navigate2' for all languages.   
      
   Thanks.
