Chinese character problem?

I noticed that couple people asked chinese character problems and some answeres. But the answers doens't solve the problem. The problem is : Inside the YM program, some menu items are chinese, some are not. Especially inside the Fle|Option menu, there are all question marks. My system are:


English Windows XP home, with Asia Language package installed. Also I alread set up the Control panel to let un-unicode to display chinese code.


YM Version : Chinese YM 8.0


This problem exists for ages and I am superised that this problem still there and no profesional answer are given here!|||I think your problem lies in the fact that your OS is ENGLISH Windows XP home and you are using CHINESE yahoo messenger. Most applications programmed in another language are HARD CODED (meaning, it was created that way) to show characters specific to that language. This means that you cannot just expect the Asian Language package to "translate" every english text in the program to chinese text. When YM opens, it tries to show the characters, but because you're on an ENGLISH operating system, it shows up as question marks. Either install Chinese Windows XP home or install English YM.
