All Greek to windows (or my dictionary)

's Computer Specifications

Since I added Greek (with US International) to my languages in Vista's
Countries and Regions settings, Windows gets upset when it sees weird
characters like à . See:http://www.spinsister.nl/zandbak/greek.htm .
This is a screen shot of my Dutch-French dictionary, with accented
characters distorted. So far I have only noticed this behaviour in the
dictionary, not in other applications, so perhaps Windows itself is
not at fault.

Can someone help me getting my accented letters back?

TIA.

I wish my computer spoke Greek but it doesn't. That is to bad.

Go to Countries & Regions settings and check that you have Dutch selected as
language for legacy applications which doesn't supoort Unicode. If it won't
help, contact your dictionary manufacturer and report this as bug.

Thanks, that was it. A pity, though, since the application that I
originally added the Greek for, now does not show Greek characters
anymore.
