Save Changes to... screwing up in WinXP
-
In my MFC application, when the user makes changes to a document, and they try to close it, a dialog box pops up saying, "Save changes to BLAH.txt?". That's what happens in Win98. But when I run my app in XP, it comes up saying something crazy like: "blah.txt ??????????????????" or something. Note I am not implementing this dialog box, MFC is doing it behind the scenes. Also the buttons in Print Preview seem to be screwed up as well in XP apposed to the correct button text in Win98. What the hell?

Often problems show up on one version of Windows and not another, just like things are fine in Debug, but not in a Release build. Could be unitialized variables being initialized differently, or some other out and out bug. You'll need to work through in the debugger and see what is going on.

Check the language of the XP machine. Sounds like you may right-to-left text enabled, but lack the proper language string files.
