I was running into the same problem myself.  Make sure you call
CoInitialize() before you issue any COM calls in your program.  It
should clear the memory faults.

Oh, one other thing: you'll need to pass -lole32 to gcc when linking.
Actually, you may need to specify additional Windows libraries
depending on what COM stuff you're calling.

Hope this helps,
