A newsgroup search.  I had a problem with my COM server failing when I first
migrated it to Win2003.  It took several days to track it down.  Of course,
now that I know the problem, it takes only a minute or two to find the
information online now.  Many people have reported the same issue and
similar workarounds.

The code I gave you is a copy/paste from my own project, which works fine on
all NT-based systems.  As you can see, the WinMain() function looks at the
OS version and then applies the workaround to only Win2003 and later
versions.  Under earlier versions, the runtime behavior is exactly the same
as it used to be.
