Perhaps your thread is hogging the CPU. Does it call Sleep and/or
WaitForSingleObject (or something similar) to make it pause? If not,
that is a likely cause of the problem.

I believe your app should respond to WM_DESTROY so the operating
system can kill it, I _think_ this is a requirement for "Logo"
certification. It seems like good practice anyway. Probably similar
for WM_COMMANDS with IDOK and IDCANCEL, and/or WM_CLOSE. But, if your
main thread is hung or starved for CPU, it won't have a chance to
process any message you send it.
