I didn't check the code, but you could try one of the following:
1) Register you handlers after calling HTEventInit()
2) Don't call HTEventInit(), just call WSAStartup (but there may be
other things that HTEventInit need to initialize).
3) If you can avoid the call to HTEventInit, you may check if Qt has
a function to initialize the socket/network system, so you can avoid
the explicit call to WSAStartup.
hope this helps,
Raffaele
