Since you are using non-Unicode application, it is important to set the correct locale in Windows.

On the computer with Windows XP (on which everything is OK) go to "Regional and Language Options", select "Advanced" tab and note which language is selected in "Language for non-Unicode programs" group.

Now, set this language on the Windows 7 computer. Note that you will have to restart the computer in order to make this work.
