    Believe it or not, this could be a privileges issue. No, really.
    I've seen this kind of thing with several apps designed and written
under win95/98 and then subsequently run under NT/2K - basically the app
can't/doesn't handle the "user doesn't have the correct privileges to do
that" error code returned from some API function call correctly, thinks it
succeeded and tries to use some data that doesn't exist.
    It's next to impossible to fix unless you debug on an NT machine, with
exactly the same problem the privilege setup...
    If, when the 3.5 windows source is released, I can replicate the
problem, I'll take a look at it, see if I can figure it out (I run a 2K dev
environment at home)...
