Can seems to figure out how to make this work on windows 10 using dgVoodoo

Any help is much appreciated!
This is a Visual Basic game, and it throws and exception for me at startup:
Exception thrown at 0x775020F2 (KernelBase.dll) in harrier.exe: 0xC000008F: Floating-point inexact result (parameters: 0xDEADCAFE, 0xDEADCAFE).
The exception comes from VB itself (msvbvm60.dll) but I don't know why. I'm not a VB expert and I don't know why old compiled VB6(?) code does not run on modern machines (maybe it's a similar problem like Turbo Pascal's "too fast CPU").
A better bet would be to ask about it in a VB forum.

This isn't the cause of the crash, and should be added to the ignored exceptions, theres no such thing as an exact floating point result ;D
By default, the run-time libraries mask all floating-point exceptions.
Game is shitting itself within the windows textinput framework (shell handwriting bug?)
