My problem is:
- I don't want to install a Russian version of Vista, because I want my system to communicate English to me.
- I want it to communicate in English, but recognize Russian letters.

What it does right now - it does recognize Russian, but not everywhere. If I go to a Russian website I can read Russian letters. If I create a new file and name it with Russian letters - it does it.

If I open a text document and try to type something - I will be able to see Russian letters, BUT when I save, close, and re-open, that's what I get:


As you can see the filename is in Russian, but what was inside became some kind of strange symbols that have nothing to do with Russian language.

Also that's what I get when I install Russian software:


Note: It is strange. Sometimes I would see the letters during the installation and sometime it shows me all those strange symbols or question marks.

How do I make my computer FULLY recognize Russian language?

I will greatly appreciate your help.....
