I just wanted to follow up and report my findings. The problem is definitely not with wtl but has something to do with the new Open/Save dialogs in Vista and the amount of memory my App allocates. I am writing an editor for a graphics engine which allocates a lot of CPU and GPU memory right from the get go. As I commented out more and more of the memory allocating code the dialogs began to open up correctly more frequently. I think that windows cannot get enough memory to allocate the dialogs and then just hangs or does something else that makes it take a long time to open. I know it sounds strange, and the App doesn't allocate that much memory either. 

Long story short, I gave up on the problem and ended up writing my own dialogs. Turned out much better in the end, because I have to restrict the files dialogs to a narrow project work space, which I never managed to do with the system dialogs. So, problem solved...
