You are probably sending some wrong parameters (like an invalid handle
or NULL pointer) to the Windows kernel. Windows 3.1 has more checking
for validy of parameters than 3.0. You should try to obtain a program
that logs and displays these errors to the kernel. I've seen one that
comes with the Microsoft compiler 7.0, called DBWin, it`s great for
detecting such errors...
