SYMPTOMS
========

The Visual Basic Books Online causes an Invalid Page Fault (IPF) in module
unknown at the address 00DE:00000003. This occurs after installing the MCP
Pre-Test software for the following book by Sybex:

   MCSD: SQL Server[ASCII 174] 6.5 Database Design Study Guide
   By Kevin Hough
   ISBN: 0-7821-2269-8

CAUSE
=====

The Sybex software contains a non-release beta version of the Visual Basic
run-time DLL, MSVBVM50.DLL (version 6.00.73.22), which replaced any
previous versions during setup.

RESOLUTION
==========

To correct the problem, you should remove the MSVBVM50.DLL file from your
Windows system directory and re-install the correct run-time file. You can
download the latest version of this file from Microsoft. Please see the
