Any help from this?

The Windows common controls have been upgraded to include new controls and 
functions and to use new file names.

Visual Basic version 6.0 ships with two versions of the Windows common 
controls. The first version is for backward compatibility only and should be 
used when you do not want to upgrade an existing application to use the new 
version.

Why Upgrade?
Visual Basic version 5.X common controls were contained in two .OCX files: 
ComCtl32.ocx and ComCt232.ocx. Both of these files called into the 
ComCtl32.dll file, a system file, for functionality. The new control 
versions are contained in two new files: MsComCtl.ocx and MsComCt2.ocx. 
Neither of these files are linked to the ComCtl32.dll file. Besides the new 
controls added to these files, another reason for upgrading is easier 
distribution and maintenance. The file changes are summarized below:

      Old File Name New File Name
      ComCtl32.ocx MsComctl.ocx
      ComCt232.ocx MsComct2.ocx
      ComCtl32.dll -- This file is not needed.
