If it works on Windows 2000, for example, (or using comctl32.dll v5.81 
instead of v6) then this is not the cause.

It doesn't use common controls to implement its peer-to-peer concepts.

Could you send me the backtrace and/or try the patch in this message:

Assuming that the program works on operating systems older than XP, this 
message is not the cause of your problems.

To implement ICC_STANDARD_CLASSES would mean copying a bunch of code 
from user32 (or being really clever and somehow reusing it) and then 
implementing the few new messages, which usually involve being able to 
use image lists and using themes.
