VB even with its latest version is not "real" multi-thread
capable.

And Microsoft highly against the use of win32 api to 
create multi-thread applications using VB due to its
memory management structure.

VB can simulate multi-threaded action, and in fact, it is
the program itself doing the juggling, not the OS (in
this case Win9x).

Your best bet is to switch to C++ or Delphi, both have
very good support for multi-thread code writing.

Personally I think Delphi is easier to work with on
multi-threaded programming.
