This may be a wild shot, but was the old version MBCS? If so, when it
converted it to the 2005 code did it convert it to Unicode? I'm not sure
that is the problem, but I figure it worth asking. Although, I'm not sure,
if that is the case, why it would work by just throwing memory at it. Maybe
there was already a "time bomb" problem that just happened in the new build?

Thank you very much for all the answers.

Let me see if I can fill in all the gaps of my question.
1. This particular dll performs various application registration
using /regall. This program was recently migrated from VC6 to VS2005.
There is no code change during the migration. Interestingly enough,
when I put the old VC6 dll back in, my main application run without
any problem. But when I put the VS 2005 version of the same dll, the
application fails.
2. Now when I say the application fails, I am running the application
on a virtual machine with Win XP virtual machine on 512MB. When the
application fails, there is no blue screen of death, the virtual
machine just reboots automatically on the LoadLibrary command. The
reason I know, becuase, I put message box in every statement to see
exactly where it is rebooting.

When I increase the virtual machine memory to 1GB, the application
runs as expected even with VS 2005 version of the dll.

Hopefully this might fill in the gaps.
Thanks.
