Does the process have a console?

In NT, console processes run in the lower 
2 Gigs.  Win32 GUIs run in the upper to 2 
Gigs.  This is the source of the problem.  
If I remember correctly, If a console porcess 
does not have a Window, then it can't access 
any of the message queues.  This info is 
available in MSDEV.  Dig DEEP 
into the CreateProcess Call.  Also 
check MSDN
