CFileDialog crash

HI all,

I have an application written in MFC6 which uses the CFileDialog class.
On a particular machine, as you are navigating around directories, the application will suddonly terminate - no message!
I do not get this issue on other machines, so I believe that there may be an old (or new) DLL on the PC.
I have checked comdlg32.dll and it is dated 04/2008 on both machines.

Any thoughts?

void CMainFrame::OnMaintenanceAudiosettingWavfileselection() 
{
	CString szFilter(	"Audio Files (*.wav)|*.wav|All Files (*.*)|*.*||");
	CString x_filename;
	CFileDialog x_file_dialog(TRUE, "Wav", "Untitled", OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT, szFilter, NULL);
	if (x_file_dialog.DoModal() == IDCANCEL) return;
	x_filename = x_file_dialog.GetPathName();
	if (x_filename.IsEmpty() != 0) return;
	DoSomething(x_filename);
	return;
}

Sorry, I should have posted this...
There was actually some issue with the OS installation on the PC we were using!
After a reinstall, it works fine.
I have however put LordOfPorts code to catch this should it occur again.
Thanks for the help,
James
