If I assume that FindWindow here is just the Windows function as
exported by the Windows OS (from USER32.DLL according to MSDN), than
your problem is most likely elsewhere.  Both compilers should call the
same function.

Have you compiled a short demo program that would show the difference?
Try to compile this as a console application with both compilers and
try it out (untested):

  #include <windows.h>
  #include <stdio.h>
  int main(void)
  {
        HWND hSASHandle = FindWindow("SAS Window class", "SAS window");
        printf("SAS window handle = %08X\n", (unsigned)hSASHandle);
        return 0;
  }
