That's STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT, Windows isn't happy about the DLL it needs to load. That's almost always caused by trying to load a 32-bit DLL in a 64-bit program. Or a 64-bit in a 32-bit program. If you converted this VB6 code to VB.NET then you probably need to force it to run in 32-bit mode. Project + Properties, Compile tab, scroll down, Advanced Compile Options, Target CPU = x86.
