I have a program that wont even start under any version of Win9x. Its
used regularly under WinNT/2K without issues. The problem in my case
is the strict resource limitations under Win9x. A single executable
only supports some limited number of resources (icons, stringlists etc
etc).

The application used to run under Win9x when it used runtime libraries
(because this split the resources between the executable and the
DLLs). However the use of runtime libraries doubled the amount of
memory used by the application, and since the primary use for the app
was under terminal server sessions (WinNT), I decided to build an
all-in-one executable and forgoe the Win9x support.


So you could try splitting your problem application to use runtime
libraries - that may allow it to work (at the expense of using more
memory). Note that it is possible to adjust so that you only use
some runtime libraries and link the rest into the app.
