[python-win32] launching an exe reboots XP...

[Ray S]

I'm trying to launch a 3rd party analyzer .exe on XP; double-clicking in 
explorer runs as normal.
 From Python, I've tried startfile(), system(), spawnl(), and popen(), with 
various modes, from scripts and command session. All start the program's 
GUI to load, then generate a "Data integrity has been compromised! Return 
to DOS?" error; clicking either Yes or No immediately reboots XP. The 
process can be killed from the task manager.

os.startfile should "act like double-clicking the file in Windows 
Explorer", but it seems to not be the case. Is there a Win32 method that 
might be effective?
I tried win32api.WinExec, win32process.CreateProcess (with various modes), 
same effect.
