Need help with Visual C++ / Windows 7 OEM ASCII thingy
« on: January 10, 2010, 02:02:47 am »

Hey all,

I transferred the program I was working on from my old Windows XP lappy to my Windows 7 tower and now the code output from Visual C++ 2008 uses the ANSI extended character set and not the OEM character set. Anyone know how I can force it to go back to OEM?

I've tried using chcp 437 at the windows command prompt and while says it changed it, when I close the command prompt and return to it it says the cp is 850 again! This has no affect on VC++ regardless of when I open it.

Can anyone help?

Cheers!
FoM.
