The problem doesn't occur in the main window. There are at least 2 possible 
solution:
1) Generate a new window icon without alpha channel, include that icon and 
rebuild.
2) Remove the icon from all the windows but the main, at runtime child window 
will display the application icon.

Unfortunately, WinBMA does not support Windows XP.

Microsoft ended Mainstream support of Windows XP on April 14, 2009. Therefore 
it is illogical to support an operating system that isn't supported anymore by 
its manufacturer.
