View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with accented characters. When I write myself, If I use Times New Roman all accented characters will be changed to some strange symbol. Even if I change the character with the dictionary program, it will automatically change back to the strange symbols. This problem I have overcome, by using ARIAL. The real problem is, that the e-mail I receive in aforeign language, it has the same strange characters. I have also installed on Oxford English-Spanish dictionary. Even the writing on this dictionary gets changed from the original characters. This is an example (Desesperaciçn) the o gets changed into a ç. Or an è gets also changed into ç. If I log into a non English WWW site, even on those pages it will change the accented characters to some strange simbols.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI purchased this computer from a guy who recently passed away. I also recently found out that he installed a pirated version of Windows XP Pro on this machine. I do not have the installation CD. My question is: Can I go to a retail store, purchase a valid Windows XP Home or Pro edition, insert the new valid CD, and it will overwrite the pirated version? Or is something more involved necessary? Also, if I can do that, will all my files be lost?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with a Windows XP installation. The problem arose when I attached a SATA SSD with Windows 7 on it, intending to check whether the SSD had failed. The computer booted up into XP but I couldn't see the SSD in My Computer. When I restarted the computer, I received GRUB (the Linux bootloader) error 22. It is possible that Linux was active on the Windows XP HDD at some point, but it is long gone and I didn't expect to find GRUB controlling the boot. I switched off and removed the SSD drive so that the computer would, so I thought, be in the state in which it was when I approached it. I switched it on and got to GRUB error 21. I inserted my Windows XP CD-ROM and restarted, selecting the repair option. I ran CHKDSK, FIXBOOT and FIXMBR and restarted but now I get error INVALID SYSTEM DISK. INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER.

In fact, the only way I can get a Spanish character to appear is by using the ascii codes (ALT+0241 for the Spanish ñ, etc) I can find some characters if I hit the ALT+SHIFT combo -- just not all the characters, and then I can't use certain keys (like the = sign becomes an upside-down question mark ¿ why the special keyboard mappings would not work?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI found that my XP (English version) is not able to put non-English characters in correct order, so that my Thai dictionary doesn't work properly.Here are some details.In Thai language, some vowels are on the left side of consonant, but when ordering those words with vowels on the left side, we don't consider the vowel is the first character, but XP does. I need to introduce 3 Thai characters in order to illustrate this problem more clearly.is the first consonant in Thai language, ข is the second, ไ is a vowel which is on the left side of consonant, such as ไก and ไข. Now we put these 2 consonants and 2 words in proper order,In the shop where I bought that dictionary, it works pretty well, but I didn't notice what system is was.
