I'm using Windows XP, SP2 I can handle inserting special characters from the Character Map up to #256 using Alt + Keypad.I can't handle Unicode Characters above 256.The specific character I need is Greek Lambda [lower].The unicode is 03BB.
1) Help me extract this character into eMail, or 2) Help me learn how to extract ANY characte expressed in Unicode.
Apparently, XP Home has eaten one of its own. How to get Paint back?

If I click the explorer window the dialogue box disappears behind the explorer window and I can continue deleting files etc. However when I finally click the (OK) in the error box, All the Icons on my desktop disappear for about 15 seconds and then reappear as if nothing is wrong. But sometimes the icons do not reappear and then I have to use the Ctl-Alt-Del method to restart the computer. What is happening and how can I fix it without reinstalling windows XP SP2.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been using an XP machine for 3 years now. I have always used the character map to use special characters such as the squared symbol in almost every application that accepts input, i.e, notepad, wordpad, OutLook Xpress and many others. Up until about a week ago, I have not been able to key in the ubiquitous alt+0178 to get the character I want. It comes out as another character or just a bunch of dots. I have not; to he best of my knowledge, changend anything, ans also it is my production machine, so there are no others or kids on it at all. However, I am able to open character map and selcet, copy and paste it into my document. Way too many steps obviously.

I did some disk cleanup and in add/remove programs, I deleted programs that, according to add/remove, had not been used in a few years and were taking up space. I did this b/c my PC was running super slow. (if anyone has advice for this ailment I will welcome all responses)Anyway, I inadvertently deleted my calculator, character map and iexplore.exe. I found a free download for calculator, but the other two apps I am at a loss for. I have searched for the files and looked under "all programs" and cannot find either one.

I've run into a file that I cannot copy, move, rename, The file originally had the character in it, but I think sometime in one of the transfers of the file, it lost the character and it got replaced with an upside-down "T".

I understand if you go to start-all programs-accessories-system tools there is suppose to be something there called a character map so you can use different symbols. In my system tools on windows xp I have nothing called character map.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy girlfriend's been having problems with her computer, a problem I know I'd encountered once in the past, but cannot recall how to remedy it now. Character map is required to enter text, the keyboard is non-functional, and the computer beeps constantly, though nothing is pressing on any key to cause this to happen. No new programs or hardware has been installed, and device conflicts have been checked for and are non-present. She has unplugged the keyboard and rebooted, but upon reboot it registers as there and no problems are seen.

I killed the one that was taking up the most memory usage and the computer was slightly better... in Paint, I could actually use the Pencil tool without lagging, but the scrolling and paintbucket was laggy still.
