Hi
It's easy. I'll give you approximate instructions since my WinXP is in
spanish.
Go to:
Control Panel / Regional settings and language / Advanced options (the last
tab)
In there you can select all the languages you want to be able to see
correctly. ("Page codes conversion tables")
I guess it would be enough selecting one of the following (I have the three
of them selected, but I live in Mexico):
10029 (MAC - Latín II)
28599 (ISO 8859-9 Latín 5)
28605 (ISO 8859-15 Latín 9)
Or you could simply find which ones are selected in your computer where you
can see the characters fine, and put the same in your laptop.
Hope it helps.
Ely.
