WOW32.DLL exception in Windows 2000

We have a 16 bit Borland 5.0 MDI app that works great under Win 95,98,NT,ME
but not Win 2000.  When ever the user moves their mouse to the upper right
corner and lingers there for a second or two.....bam, it blows off with a
WOW32.DLL error (this is a Windows 2000 dll).  Porting the app to Win32 is
going to be very timeconsuming and some of the 16bit components that were
used are either not around or have been "improved" to such a point that we'd
have to rewrite a significant part of the code.  Has anyone seen this
problem and have advice for correcting it within our 16bit environment?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

Hello,

Thank you for the URL. This advise could be used to disable tooltip function on Win2000. But this problem occurs with Borland OWL library. If you try to compile normal 16 bits Win app in Borland C++ Compiler everything will be OK. (No bugs). There is a problem with Borland OWL.
