[McCabe John G <JGMCCABE@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

FWIW - I saw this with a few apps I built recently on VS2k5 and copied across to a Win2k system that hadn't had VS 2k5 installed on it. When I installed VS2k5 the problem went away which suggests it's something to do with the libraries that the app is being linked with. I didn't get to the bottom of the problem though, but maybe this will help as a pointer.
