BC++ 5.02 predates Win98.  See if changing to a Win95 compatibility
setting helps or alters the problem in any way that gives some clues
as to what is going on.

You might also try making a trivial, hello world project and seeing
how that works.  Doing that might remove or highlight any oddities
related to the specific project you are using, for instance things in
the project file that relate to the Win98 machine.
