It sounds as if you need to install the Microsoft Service Packs for VC++.v.5.
They trashed the f/p optimiser trying to get an over-ambitious speed increase. 
Without the SPs, even code which compiles will have fatal flaws in it. SP 1
fixed most of the problems, and SP2 a few more.
One nasty bug whihc can still show up sometimes, is that f/p zero gets changed
to negative f/p zero (!!) - which is enough to flummox a test. They are now up
to SP 3, which I haven't got round to installing yet myself. Warning - the
download is huge, some 90MBytes, as it covers the whole of Visual Studio.

                         this doesn't merely sound like a "patch" but rather
                         like an opportunity to get an entire VC++ for free ;-)
