[PD] Troubles running Pd-0.43.1test5 on Windows XP

Hi Miller

This is on Windows XP Pro / Version 2002 / SP3 32bit in a VirtualBox VM.
It really only happens with Pd-0.43.1test5, but not with Pd-0.43.1test4
or any earlier version. 

Yet we have two reports where it is working on Windows XP. Could that be
related to my version being Pro (I don't know about the specifics of
'Pro') or to the fact that it is in a VM?

I'll try to find another Windows XP installation...
