Re: Weird behavior / bug(?) with VC++ Studio 2005 (Beta 2)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

You have UNICODE defined. When you compile with Unicode, Windows API
functions that take strings resolve to their Unicode variants, which have a
'W' suffix. They then require Unicode strings as parameters.

Either change your strings to be Unicode strings (constants should have an L
prefix), or change your compile options to use "multi-byte character sets".
