You appear to be mixing VC++ build products, probably due to not
completely rebuilding your program from source. msvcp71d.dll is from
VC++ 2003. You can't go mixing this with the equivalent under VC++
2008, which will have a '9' in the name instead of a 7.
I tested mfc.exe here on my machine under VC++ 2008, and it runs fine.
If you can't immediately see where the mixing is happening, look to the
libraries your program links against. *All* of them have to be rebuilt
against the new VC++ 2008 DLLs, or the resulting program will break.

I'd say you were nuts to keep using 2003 this long. :) Far better than
VC++ 7.0, but still pretty broken. 2005 fixed a lot of things, and 2008
fixed several more.
