Thai Software On English Winxp

[h90]

Tried to install demo versions of Thai Accounting software but all the Thai writing is messed up.

Is there a solution to this?

Thanks

Have you enabled Thai on your computer as below?

You need to install Thai language. Go to Control panel -> Regional Settings and in one of the tabs (can't remember the names of the top of my head) there is a checkbox that says something with installing additional languages including Thai. Note: You need your XP CD to do this.

Try this

Go to Control panel - Regional and Language Options

Select the Advanced tab, and in the advanced tab where it says "Language for Non-Unicode programs" make sure Thai is selected

yes Thai is enabled, exactly like the guide on lopburi3 link.

It is possible to write Thai in Word.

Still some Thai Software shows (specially the buttoms like "OK" and "cancel") either just ??????????

Or something like "@$52@#%234?"

Is the software opening in a browser window by any chance? That might require setting the browser up to display the language as default?

No just a normal software. Basically that happens with almost any Thai language software on all our computers.

Almost all the Thai language is messed up.

I can't be the only one with this problem or?

it does not occur only with Thai but Chinese or Japanese as well. As you described mostly with OK and CANCEL buttons.

IMHO it something to do either with general code page conflict or the software itself. The error could be the installer.

If you got a chance try to test your program on a 100% Thai Windows and see what happens.

I am pretty sure it will work with a 100 % Thai system, as that are common used expensive accounting software I tried.

I set everything to Thai on the computer now...still no help for non of the software....
