pretty much avery application on the system decided it was being run for the
first time (eg Office, Outlook, IE, WinZip and Windows itself) so I think
whatever I did then is still having lingering effects. What I did was search
the registry for keys and values pertaining to an application I was
developing an InstallShield setup for, and delete them.

I don't have VS6 at hand, but I think it is Tools->Options. In there, you
can set the order of include directories. If you have downloaded the
platform SDK, which I believe you must to use DWORD_PTR, make sure the SDK
include path is before (above) the "normal" MFC include directories.
