Hello!

I am using a Japanese version of windows xp pro.
I have an application written in English. In most
cases there would be no problem displaying the
English alphabet except that the apostrophe
is displayed as a square.

I know that I can set the system locale to English (US)
and reboot. Since there are other users of the computer,
they get ****ed when their Japanese application get
all screwed.

My question is that is there a way to get around this?
Either can I change the system locale without reboot or
are there ways to "feed" the English application with
correct codepage without changing system locale?

best
paul
