I' m having problem converting boolean values with vb.net 2003 CBOOL
function. On english windows XP SP2 is working ok but on any other language
of windows i get this error:

Error: System.InvalidCastException: Cast from string "Neresnično" to type
'Boolean' is not valid. ---> System.FormatException: Input string was not in
a correct format.
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.DoubleType.Parse(String Value,
NumberFormatInfo NumberFormat)
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.BooleanType.FromString(String
Value)

any sugestions how ti fix this.

I believe you are not parsing "true"/"false" but the equivalent localized version?
Personally I would not rely on UI elements to determine the logic of my application.
