Sometimes if you launch it from the command prompt (start -> run-> cmd)
you can see the errors on the command line.
Typically you have to right click, choose properties and look at the 'Start in:' box and 'Target:' box.  You CD to the start in folder then run the target executable.
I haven't tried it but you might be able to use cygwin to use the same debugging tools in windows (worth a try).

wrong, on linux normally I'd run it from a shell like this 'program >>

little about Windows/DOS prompts and was wondering if there's a way to
accomplish something similar in XP.
