I no longer have VB6, due to me getting a laptop. If you can get me a download to VB6 I may be able to help you out, I love that language.
First things first, why are you still taking an interest in VB6? It's highly outdated now. And lastly:

You are just starting out in programming but you intent to make an Operating System? :S You need to learn the basics before you can even think about a project like this. Otherwise you're as good as a copy and paste "

Iv been yousing vb6.0 for some time i just want to progress in my vb6.0 im sorry if i put i just tarted out what i met was that im just starting out on a harder stuff then the usual stuff i do.
I wouldn't even bother making an operating system. Almost all the stuff for a real operating system is also in Operating System specific languages.
