Petzold

Ehsan mentioned the Petzold book (Programming Windows, 5th
ed., 1999) 
as a good source for Win32 API.  I recall looking at that
book a few 
years ago, and I noticed that most of its programs would not
run on 
Windows 95/98/ME.  In Petzold's FAQ on his website he says
that they 
will run on XP.  Has anyone verified this?

Maybe these apps you're talking about use a Windows NT
specific feature.
 There are many NT specific stuff that never work on non-NT
products,
such as Win95/98/ME.

The MSDN docs specify what OSes are supported for each of
the Win32
APIs, so you may use those to figure out what APIs cause the
effect you
describe.

Yes They do.

I did a semester of Petzold and all examples ran on XP.
