An uneducated guess here, but maybe from within your own program change the attributes of the key file to remove all possible attributes.

It may be that XP automatically set attributes to the key file and your VDS program is unable to access the file due to the attributes.

FILE SETATTR, <file path>, <attributes>

FILE SETATTR changes the attributes of the file <file path>. The string <attributes> consists of one or more of the following characters:

+ turns on the attributes following (default)
- turns off the attributes following
A archive attribute
H hidden attribute
R read only attribute
S system attribute
