Upgrade to the latest service pack of Windows to make Visual Basic 6 work at all.

Open Visual Basic 6 with administrator rights.

Create a new "standard exe" project.

Select Project - Components from the main menu.

Check "David Piuva's graphics engine" in the list of components.

Press OK

You will see a new icon on your toolbar.
