I remember having an error 461 with vintage win32lib v0.60.6 while trying
to access RichEdit controls under win98/2k I think.
After searching the forum (you should really experiment with this, it can
dig up some gems for you), I found this post:

I messed up with RichEdit on old Windows systems.

Look in the w32DLL.ew include file. Naar the end of the file you
will see some code dealing with RichEdit classes. Replace
all after the comments ...

--/topic Constant
--/const riched32
--/desc Windows Library: Rich Edit Control

with ...

global constant
riched32    =
    registerw32Library({"Msftedit.dll","riched20.dll","riched32.dll"}),
   -- Rich Edit control
    WC_RICHEDIT10       = "RICHEDIT",
    WC_RICHEDIT20       = "RichEdit20A",
    WC_RICHEDIT50       = "RICHEDIT50W"
global sequence WC_RICHEDIT

vw32Libraries[riched32][1] = linkDLL(vw32Libraries[riched32][2])
if vw32Libraries[riched32][1][1] = 1 then
    WC_RICHEDIT = WC_RICHEDIT50
    
elsif vw32Libraries[riched32][1][1] = 2 then
    WC_RICHEDIT = WC_RICHEDIT20
    
else
    WC_RICHEDIT = WC_RICHEDIT10
end if

Perhaps this is it? v0.60.6 didn't incorporate this fix, so you'll still
have to patch the code as suggested.
