Old FP on W7 issue with wrong characters displayed

[keat63]

I posted this in the other FP section, which was probably the wrong place.
My apologies for the double posting ..

I inherited an old FP application a few years ago.
I'm not entirely sure of the version, but it was running on some old Windows95 computers, so gives some indication to it's age.
I was challenged with getting it to run on XP, which it has been without any issues for at least 4 or 5 years.
I'm now tasked with trying to get it to run on Windows7.
I've had some success, other than some incorrect charachters.
If i type £ symbol, the display gives me a #
Or if i type a @ i get ".

I've checked the keyboard type, language type, regional setting etc and all are correct.
If i open notepad, i get the correct symbols.
If i open a cmd prompt, I get the correct symbols.
But when I start the FP client app, I get the wrong symbols.

This is the ice breaker as to whether or not i can upgrade all the PC's to W7.

Any thoughts please

For anyone else who may end up finding this thread at some point in the future, the fix was:
Add the following line to autoexec.nt reboot and the symbols are now working.
