My project (VS 7.1) builds and run OK on my Windows 2K PC, but when I clean
the solution and copy it over to a Windows XP PC in our lab I get loads of
error, (see below) I cant seem to find the cause.

The code HAS NOT changed!

I did check that the copied project still builds on the Windows 2K PC and it
does.
