WINDOWS
Summary:
SYMPTOMS
When an application is launched, a FatalExit 0x0280
(ERR_GMEMHANDLE, invalid global handle) error occurs.
CAUSE
The application declares the WinMain function as a FAR function.
The design of the Microsoft Windows kernel assumes that an
application's entry point is a near function rather than a far
function.
RESOLUTION
Remove the FAR keyword from the declaration of the WinMain
function.
