Answer 1

I don't think it's wise to mix VS2005 projects with VC6 libraries. It's hard to say what the actual problem is. What I do in such situations is make a new VS2005 project that resembles your original project with regards to settings (GUI/Console, ATL, MFC etc) and see which libraries will be picked up. Then change the translated VC6 project to match these.

Hope this helps.
