This is a pretty general problem so try this general answer:

Check your hdc and hwnd parameters in functions like EndPaint.

I have mixed these up on numerous occasions and it has given exactly
the type of fault you describe, sometimes taking hours to sort out!
I can't understand why the STRICT compilation doesn't spot this.
