Sylvain,

Well, one thing they often do with each new release of MSDN is just bump 
the lowest version number required for a lot of functions.  In some 
cases you'll see a function that used to say Windows 95 and Windows NT 
4.0 SP3 jump to Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 SP6, even though those 
functions still work just fine on the earlier OSes.  Why do they do 
this?  I have no idea.

As for whether or not GetWindowInfo is actually supported in NT 4.0 SP3, 
you would have to do a fresh install of SP3 to test if the function is 
there.  Remember that one of the problems with NT 4.0 is that any 
application can replaced system DLLs with its own versions, so you quite 
often have to reapply the latest service pack after installing any 
application.  I wouldn't doubt it if this particular user had installed 
an app that overwrote the DLL in question here with a pre-SP3 version.
