How do I install Russian "Codepage 1251?"

-----Original Message-----


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

Check the advanced tab of Regional and Language Options in
Control Panel. Here you can install code pages. You may
also need to set the language used for non-Unicode
programs before your programs will work.

Right - choosing "Russian" as a language for non-Unicode
programs is all that person needs to do (no installation
of code pages is required) - that will make
"Cyrillic(Windows) 1251" a System Code Page - then
programs with Cyrillic letters in their _interface_
will work fine. Details - in the Full Russification
section of my site.
