Big deal. Of course, different versions. Why bothering so much about it? By the way, maybe you are using debug information in one case and no debug information in another one. Could it be the case?

Which settings do you think would be the ones to change?

i remember that created my project in VC++ 2008 with default settings

Then you need to check that you are using the same settings in VS2010. It's unlikely that anyone here can guess what your settings are.
