Our network guru type guys suggested using the Processes tab in Task
Manager to view CPU and Memory usage during startup. On Startup, the
application runs up to about 82% CPU usage and then barfs and closes.
However, no event log entry is made. Our other applications (the
ones that run correctly on these machines) do pretty much the same
thing; while loading they jump up to about 82% and then drop to zero
after loading and display about 16 MB memory usage.

The operating system is obviously trying to load the application and
failing. If that's true, why is no event log entry made? Keep in
mind that (with logging to a text file) I've determined that the form
creation code in the DPR isn't even being executed.
