Hi all,
my program is being used in UK and in Germany. To get a string 
in the appropriate language, I use

  MyAnsiString.LoadString(HInstance, MYRESID);

This works fine in Win NT and Win 98, but in Win XP and Win 2000
I always get the German string.

My resource file contains two string tables:

STRINGTABLE DISCARDABLE
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_NEUTRAL
BEGIN
MYRESID "Some text in English."
END

STRINGTABLE DISCARDABLE
LANGUAGE LANG_GERMAN, SUBLANG_NEUTRAL
BEGIN
MYRESID "Ein Text in deutsch."
END

I checked GetUserDefaultLangID() and GetUserDefaultLCID(), and
both work correctly under 98, NT, 2000 and XP. (German/Germany
is code 1031, English/Great Britain is 2057).

Any idea what's going wrong?
