I want my english version of windows 2000 to show russian text in russian documents and programs, how do i do this without changing my regional settings to russian because then my display drivers shown in russian. I tryed to use some codepage convertion tables, but it dont helps, what should i do nexT?
 
When you say documents do you mean MS Word like documents or webpages? Word documents display Russian encoding automatically most of the time. If you're still getting jibberish, try going to Tools>Language>Set Language and choose Russian. As for webpages, IE displays cyrillic encoding automatically as well. If for some reason it won't you can force it by going to View>Encoding then choose Cyrillic. Hope this helps.
 
I am russian myself so i use some programs with russian interface but i dont want to set language to russian in regional settings.
I also want to programs show russian text with notepad/wordpad to.
Web pages work fine.
 
Hi, I had the same problem but in Japanese. I tried to install the Japanese version of AOL and all I had were squares and other symbols. I'm using windows XP and here's what I did. I hope it will help you:

- go to control panel, then click on "date, time, language, and regional options"
- choose "regional and language options"
- go to the "advanced" tab then select Russian in the scroll menu.
- then "apply" (you will need to restart your computer)

It worked for me. I hope it'll too for you
