I think that by using ex(run by windows in its own little dos 
emulation memory section) windows lets the program believe 
that it is accessing those memory address, but shunts it 
though the windows system. When you use exw, Windows runs the 
program normally, and hence doesn't try tricking it by 
pretending it is a dos system.

... if that makes any sense to you
