Standalone Applications don't work on Windows

When I make a standalone app, I get two problems: In the MAC OS 10.5 version, I get a small square as a cursor. It works like a cursor, but looks weird. In the Windows version, I get an error message saying the app cannot be opened. I tried it on two different Windows computers with the same result ...
