The error was something like 0x8 which means an API win32 error.

No it doesn't. The 0x8 simply means that it was an error. It's only a Win32 error if the number begins 0x8007, 0x8008 or 0x8000. In particular, if it begins 0x8004, then it's an emplode error.

Moreover, the rest of the numbers (and a complete description of the error message) are helpful when attempting to diagnose the problem. We don't come up with these complicated numbers/messages for fun, you know .
However, it sounds like you might have the problem mentioned in the FAQ.
