As far as SetStretchBltMode() is concerned, absolutely nothing.  Memory is
memory, regardless of the manager used to allocate/free it.

Which documentation are you referring to?

The type of memory should not matter at all.  Especially considering that
SetStretchBltMode() does not accept a memory block as input to begin with,
only an HDC and an int.  My guess would be the error is elsewhere in your
code.  What does GetLastError() return when SetStretchBltMode() returns a
value of 0?  What does your code actually look like?
