SYMPTOMS

The value of hPrevInstance is not equal to NULL, even though there are no other instances of the program running.

CAUSE

The C Run-time library used by the linker does not match the memory model specified in the C compiler.

RESOLUTION

Change the run-time library used by the linker to reflect the appropriate memory model used in the C compiler.
