Chat won't read foreign characters properly - GoldLeader - 26.03.2011

Well, whenever I try to type any foreign character, like cyrillics one, it won't read it to me properly, and comes out weird, like this:



And I was never typing some shit like that, I only typed cyrillic characters: љ њ е р т з у и о п ш ђ а с д ф г х ј к л ч ћ ж ѕ џ ц в б н м. And whenever someone else types this kind of characters, or any other foreign, it will read like this. Does anyone know why?

You need to go to Control Panel > Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options > Regional and Language options > Advanced > Language for non-Unicode programs and chose Russian from the drop down list.

Well, first it's Serbian :P, not Russian, and I did that, some error message shows saying You have to put in Windows XP disc (not exactly, something like that)

That's not an error message, that's a request - as it needs to get information from your XP disc. Do as it says and you'll be fine.

Well, yeah, request message. But, I don't have that disc :S.

The Windows XP disc should come as a "Reinstalling disc" when you bought your computer.
Take a look in the box that your PC were in when you bought it.

I didn't buy my computer, my dad got it for me from his job. (it's an old one, it didn't need for them)

I don't know which language type you have, but here's "Latin" and "Cyrillic" language interface for Windows XP;

Well, I think it's only SA-MP problem. Cyrillic works perfectly fine on any other program, just not SA-MP. Also - I have code page 850 instead of usual code page 437. (alt codes and something else) Could that be the problem? Maybe it is all in alt codes, so when I type (or someone else) other foreign character it gives me same alt code as it's supposed to be, but it's different on code page 850 than 437?
