garbled message

[chezkeita]

Hi,

I hope this question is not too stupid to ask but my error description messages after building are garbled like: "error #6333: ZA^7&*/...".
Any idea about what is causing this?
My OS is vista.

Thanks in advance,

Those messages come from a "message catalog" that is keyed to the user's Language setting. Are you using a non-English version of Windows? Perhaps your language setting is causing the compiler to pick the wrong message catalog.

Thank you, Ronald. My unicode setting was Japanese and the fix was to switch it over to English.
I appreciate your help.

Even if your Vista setting is Japanese, you can get English messages correctly by adding following compiler switch:
