Nick Karaoke

[sabajja]

Maybe this is a longshot, anyway.

I'm trying to install Nick Karaoke and it installs fine.

However, It wont allow me to use Thai keyboard to search for songs.

I get an error similar to this when starting the program:

Keyboard codepage, or keyboard con error

Searching in English is not a problem, just when you wanna find those Thai songs it is.

Any solution you know about ?

What OS you use?

I'm using Nick Karaoke as well, and the only OS I got it running on, with both Thai And English keyboard working is WinME, Thai version...

I use XP,(and yes I have Asian languages + Thai installed)

Strange thing is, my neigbour also has Nick installed on his XP machine, and that works ?

Seems it works on some, but not all machines ?

As Nick K is a dos program, I thought there would be some nifty little fix for this problem ?

On a sidenote I can mention, Playing the Nick Karaoke tracks in Proplus 3 works, but, the lyrics seems to be out of sync.

If I could fix that problem, then that would be a solution to.

Five years on and I'm probably the last person ever to need this, but I recently had the same problem when moving an XP install of NickWin from a Thai PC to an English one. Perhaps some of it will be relevant beyond XP. Typing in Thai in the search box didn't work; Thai characters came up but no matching songs came up. Typing in English would find matching songs, and finding a Thai track by number would display the Thai lyrics correctly as the track played.

I set just about everything in Control Panel to Thai in desperation, but I think the crucial one was this:

Start -> Control Panel -> Regional and Lanuage Options -> Advanced -> Language for non-Unicode programs
