Hey, I am using English windows 7 x64, and I have English and Russian installed as keyboards, but when I installed a program it shows all Russian letters as ??? question marks, whats the problem? it seems that when program is running it's running iexplorer.exe at the same time (So I guess program is working with it or smth) , it's like a facebook application except for russian website called vkontakte.ru. So what could be the problem and how to fix? even if I type in russian and send msg to some of the friends, it will deliver to them as #$%$%@ some symbols, so what, it doesn't process Russian letters or what>?
Off the top of my head, there are 2 fixes to this problem with Windows.
First off
Microsoft AppLocale. When you open it, you create a shortcut for a specific program to run with a certain language character set. So, if Japanese characters aren't showing up, you run the application through AppLocale with the Japanese character set and they should show. It's made for a quick and temporary fix, and also to diagnose issues.
If the problem is system wide, not just a single program or two this isn't much of a viable fix. However it's a useful tool.

Second is the Russian language pack for Windows.
Go to Windows update, if you go into manually selecting updates go to secondary update and select the Russian Language pack and download that. It should fix your problems, if some specific applications don't work, this is where I recommend AppLocale.
You can also find download links to language packs from [url=http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/languages]here.[/url]
Hope it helps.

Remember you need to run the applications through AppLocale to get the effect.

I tried, but it said System has already been set up for such configuration or something similar to that.

Odd, mind trying again to get me the exact error?
"Your current system settings can already accomodate the target application in the language you have selected."

Ok, this is extremely odd then, continue with the second method.
