Windows Crash on NVIDIA GT 8400 cards

I have sent two friends a sample of my lastest irrlicht project. I am rendering the scene using the EDT_OPENGL for video. They both are running windows 32 bit and have NVIDIA 8400 GT cards. The sample application works great on my Windows Vista 32 bit and I am on a NVIDIA 7600. The sample program can be downloaded here.

The irrlicht loads and on user input the application crashes and windows error states that irrlicht.dll is missing and to install it.

Your example works fine on my setup: Windows 7 64-bit, NVIDIA 9400M.
Most probably this is not Irrlicht problem
2 things for your friends to try:
1. Update drivers.
2. Turn off "Threaded optimization" in NVIDIA control panel.

By the way

hmmm, this is strange, it starts and I can rotate and move for a short time, then the app hangs...

no crash, simply no reaction and I'll have to close it via task manager (even Alt-F4 doesn't work for it anymore)...
it looks like it runs in some sort of infinity loop at some point...

I'm using WinXP-pro (sp2) with GeForce FX5200...

I don't think it is the code itself but I can post it as well. So far everyone on WinXp is having problems and Vista/7 is running fine. I am compiling in code::blocks using the mingw compiler. Would there be any compatibility issues compiling on a newer version of windows?

The problem started happening when I input the Event Receiver into the code and compiled. Coincidence?

I am still using version 1.5 of irrlicht. If this is a found bug I need to upgrade to version 1.5.1.
**EDIT**
Verified on a few more comps on the XP crash. 5 for 5 crashes on XP.
