Getting proper multi-language support in Win2K ... need help!

[MrGrim]

Ok, I have been trying to get Win2K Pro to properly read Greek all day today, but I simply can't do it. The weird thing is that it can read some Greek! For example in Microsoft Office Word I can read all the menus that are in Greek but when I try to open a file everything in the "open" menu is f*cked up(the same happens with every other menu). Another example is when I visit Greek web pages, where I can read all the heareds that are in Greek but everything else is either in question marks or square boxes or even letters that I can't recognise!

I have done everything that is written in the help file (ticking greek in regional settings) but I can't seem to make it work.

Thanx in advance

Hello MrGrim ,

in W2k you need to change your location and your regional settings to greek , I did this to russian and it worked fine and file names worked fine too, as I remember ... bad thing , that my laptop broke down , than I would help you more ...

I am afraid that I have already done that ... I am still having problems though.

Ok, I think I got my laptop working , so I'll tell you everything that I have done (that I remember), maybe you missed something 😉

1.My Location I leaved United States
2.for "Language Settings for the system" I choosed "Cyrillic" (it will be greek for greek 🙂 .
3.Click "Set Default..." button and chose "Russian" ("Greek&quot😉 as a default
4.That's all for regional settings (don't forget to restart 😉)

And as I remember I didn't do anything else ...

I'll give it a try (again!) after I finish downloading some new fonts that I found, in case I have missed something.

I had to format and reinstall to get it working. 🙁

Thanx for your replies though.
