A weird problem with Romanian characters.

[Guest]

Hello everyone.
Recently I have reinstalled from scratch my Windows XP SP 2 and did a
registry cleanup after finished installing and configuring software.
A weird problem occurred then. I am from Moldova and working as Internet
Administrator I design WebPages and graphics using Romanian language. Frankly
some of my essential applications like FrontPage and PhotoImpact are simply
refusing to include such Romanian characters as ţ ş â î ă etc. Its pretty
weird because other applications like Microsoft Office 2000 or even Notepad
are easily accepting these symbols. Those applications I mentioned are simply
replacing Romanian characters with western like t s a I a etc.
Any ideas what I could I mess in the registry or what could be done to fix
that?
Thanks a lot in advance.

What do you mean that you did a registry cleanup?

Sounds like you already did the registry mess up.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Perhaps you will undo the "registry cleanup".

Some programs don't have the full functionality of extension
characters, you might need a language pack from MS.... Have you done
updates, ALL of them?

Under control panel, Reginal and language settings, it brings up a
window, you may have to change some things, or maybe not. Then click
on Languages, what does it say there?
