That's the way it is suposed to be. Find the place where the programm fires
up the windows style error box (Call... MessageBox) and look about what goes
wrong. Normally the programm fetches some message to put in the box and
before that there is something going on that the programm doesn't expect.
documentation/debugging tells more.
