What do we know about your system versus your friend's system, and how you built the program?

We both have windows xp pro he dosen't have Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 though.

It is probably a dependency on the C runtime library.
Have a look at msdn and see if you can get anything from there. I think the free version of Visual C++ 2005 is missing some of the redistributable directories (whether by accident or on purpose, I am not sure).

You may be able to just copy the msvcr80.dll into your program's directory on your friend's machine.

If you can't get it to work, I can give you a manifest file to use (its at work, so I can't get it until tomorrow). The manifest file basically tells the program where to look for the runtime library DLLs.
