Computer doesn't recognize russian language or cyrillic alphabet on some web-sites. I used to access those pages about 1 week ago without any problem. Can I do anything to fix it, without crashing the whole system??
Thanks

No, that option has nothing to do with the _functionality_
of Cyrillic texts. It's purpose is different - is a site has
2 versions of a page, say English and Russian, then placing Russian
as #1 in that option will cause the server to send a Russian
page to the client. Be it readable or not is a separate issue -
functionality issue.

Usually non-Westetn page is unreadable if a user has
encoding auto-detection "On" in Internet Explorer -
View/Encoding/Auto-Select.
It's known that IE has issues there, so it can show you a
Russian page as a Turkish one :)
So first advice for questions like this is to _uncheck_
Auto-Select.
 
Hi Paul;

Looks like I have been upstaged by a Cyrillic expert. :o)
Showing a Russian page as a Turkish one would have no
effect on me. I can't read either one. ;o)
