How do I install Russian "Codepage 1251?"
Hello, I've tried to install "Prompt-XT" translater software that comes only in Russian version. I get the error about code page 1251 not being installed. Ive tried to install Chessmaster9000, and English teaching software, all with only Russian installations. Although they do not give this error, the install fails. After attempting to install four Russian software programs, none have installed. I have over a dozen Cyrillic fonts installed, including those that have 1251 asscoiated with them. I don't believe this is a font problem. My guess is codepage 1251 is installed when the OS is installed. Running WinXP SP2. Thanks, Willlburrr |

How do I install Russian "Codepage 1251?"
Found the answer:
Note that to run Russian software, more than "user level" changes need to be made. A system level change, "code pages" need to be modified. User level mods are fonts, keyboard and locale changes. The procedure to "Russify" Windows for XP and XP+SP1 is very simple. Win2000, ME, 98.. are a bit more difficult. Language packs are included in most later Windows versions, especially WinXP. There is no noticeable difference for all of standard American/English applications. That is, the code page system level changes are transparent.
