Yes, I also "experienced" this. I guess it's due to M$'s great "side-by-side execution" invention, which fixed some dozens of well-known problems and introduced some dozens of new, unknown problems.

Whenever a program uses newer MSVC runtime dlls ( MSVCRx0.DLL ), you may expect such phenomenons. Progress is a delusion.
