Where is SP6 for MSVC6? I can only see SP5 on MS site...

The issue of various things crashing under Win32 is raised quite often.
In almost all cases its the multithreaded DLL runtime issue (see FAQ).

Assuming that isn't the case I've also just been tracing the cause of a
problem with VC++ SP4 with the processor pack. 

It was giving incorrect results for 192 and 256 bit AES and different
results entirely with the same keys and the 'enc' command line program.

Whereas on XP home on my setup VC++ 6.0 with SP3 is fine. I haven't been
able to check out SP5 or the processor pack myself but it looks like
some kind of compiler bug.
