i'm trying to copy files accross a win98 network, these files have french characters in them. i get the error cannot copy file.

files have characters such as é, ë, â

i have put on all the win98 updates,
it copies all other types of files. if i rename the files, they copy. but this is not an option as there are 100's of files and new ones created all the time.

any ideas?

philip,

I can't remember exactly where it is in 98 but in XP it's in "Start/Settings/Control Panel/Regional and Language Options". If you don't see it there in 98 to a search on "Regional and Language Options" and then install "Canadian - French" and you should be fine.

ciao,
wired
