Complied VB .EXE crashes computer???

I have developed a VB 2.0 application that uses several DLL's including
Btrieve for Windows, Crystal Reports and a couple that I wrote using
Turbo Pascal for Windows.  It runs just fine in interpreted mode, but
when I compile it and try to run the .EXE I get a General Protection
Fault and I lose my mouse.  This only happens on machines at work that
are running MS LanManager 2.1 (it does not happen on my non-networked
system at home).  The funny thing is that I can run the .EXE just fine
if VB is also running, but it crashes my system if I try to run it 
without having VB loaded.  The VB 2.0 application is fairly simple
(i.e. no graphics, just data entry forms at this point), but it does
use MDI.

Any suggestions on what might be causing this problem or how to 
track down the cause?

My system configuration is: 80386, 8MB, Windows 3.1, DOS 5.0, and
LanManager 2.1.

Thanks
