Using which compiler?  I have a Win2K box, and a WinXP box (a measly P133
with 64 Mb & 10 Gb HDD RAM, would you believe), as well as several
compilers, including Visual C++ 6.0...

You would hope so.  ;-)

Strange.  Can you post a short program demonstrating the problem?  And any
appropriate compiler/linker arguments (unless you're using the IDE of your
compiler...)

You may be calling an MFC function with the wrong arguments.  I'm not at
all familiar with it though.

Not really.  ;-)

Windows 2000 is NT 5.0, Windows XP is NT 5.1.  Presumably the next will be 5.2...
