Thanks. I actually thought it might have something to do with the fact that the initialism ICU, when read in English, sounds like the sentence "I see you!"

"runtime files are not changed and it works on XP SP2 with hotfix or SP3 using same runtime files, so the problem could be in w2k extended kernel."

Which M$ Visual C++ Runtime do you use in W2K-Kex (v31lM)
and XP SP2/SP3.
Is it newer than M$ Visual++ Runtime 2008 ?

I have :

• msvcr100.dll 10.0.40219.473 (Windows 2000)
• msvcr100.dll 10.0.40219.325 (Windows XP SP3)

Those belong to Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (direct link; no idea if it will work for your system).

msvcr100.dll 10.0.40219.473 copy from my Windows 2000 here.

hmm, confirmed v30i and v31 also works.

and it seems to be broken in v31a and later.

since there is no release note and/or changelog for v31a, nothing is known besides ntdll and kernel32 are newer in v31a.

I tried Windows2000-VC2019u2-INTL.wlu for W2K by blackwingcat
which installs the latest M$ Visual C++ 2019,
together with W2K-Kex v31l, and it didn't help (runtime error).

Next I returned to my old v30fM
and NM28 25-12-24 and St52 25-12-24 work ok.

W2K-Kex from  v31  to  v31h  had problems that were  
finally fixed with W2K-Kex v31l.
The strange thing is that this fixed version v31l
that worked quite well for over a year - incl. NM28 and St52 -
now has problems with the latest version of NM28 and St52.
