Did you add a DoEvents() so it looked like it was multithreading?

I hope you did so on a VM, so all you need to do is a secure erase of the VM files, rather than calling in the hazmat team.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I'm rather shocked it is willing to run under Windows 7. Or are you running it in a Windows 2000 VM?

So far it seems to be working under compatibility mode for XP SP3 and running it with admin privileges.

Lucky you.
We have a body of code we maintain with Visual Studio 2003  . It runs under Win7, but with a number of options set on the shortcut to make it run: admin and a couple graphics things turned off. It also has a bug in that if you run under the debugger, you then have to exit VS2003 before compiling again. The debugger fails to close a handle to the debugger symbols file, which causes subsequent compiles to fail.

How cool is that! I would love to tinker with some old vb6 code; brings back the old days. You should write an article about it.

You do know that, after seeing VB, Satan added another level of Hell just for us programmers! In fact, there are all sorts of rooms in the level, especially tailored for Javascript and Ruby on Rails as well. The irony is that people who go there actually think they died and went to heaven, hahahaha!

Link to bunch of rumors and speculations: here.
Although nothing is certain yet, even the release date in October, I'm really excited. 13" 4K screen, new Intel 'Skylake' CPU, aluminum body, Win 10, build in projector...I'm not going to leave my bed.

4K on a 13". That should be awesome!

"Every morning at 6.30am in a padlocked wing of a military-style compound in southern Beijing, a whistle sounds. It's the cue for around 50 camouflage shirt-clad young Chinese men and around five young women to get up.
They line up outside their dormitories as a drillmaster barks out a name register and a day of punishing military exercises and lectures begins.
At 9.30pm they are locked up again and it's strictly lights out. For most people sent here (some of whom have been drugged by their parents to get them behind the locked gates), this routine is repeated daily for six months.
But these people are not army cadets or prisoners. They are patients at the China Young Mental Development Base: China's toughest internet addiction rehab centre - and MailOnline was allowed inside its sterile walls."[^]

That's nearly midday! 
Or at least, in summer it is - I'm up with the sun, I can't just lie there when I'm awake.

There's this wonderfull invention called a "curtain" which would easily solve that.

We have those, even in Wales.
We also have had a series of cats, who all have known when their bellies are empty, or the mice are running about, and have sussed that the food / door is controlled by the Pink Blobs. Wake the Pink Blob, he'll get up, they get what they want. Occasionally. One of them was about 8kg, and would stand on my bladder and give me a Gorbals Kiss to wake me. You don;t sleep after that, and you do get into teh habit after a while.

With annoying difficulty...
It used to be easier: I drank a lot, so I went to sleep really easy. Now I don't, and don't have an artificial sleep support system!

I thought that's what parents were for? You know, to guide, control, direct, and educate their spawn in regards to life, consequences, and proper behaviour? My mother would have smacked me hard enough to drop the iPad if I didn't do was I was (repeatedly) told. We were restricted from television as punishment; why can't dad change the wifi password?
If I didn't listen, there were consequences right at home, enacted by my parents.
You know what? It worked.
