Windows 7 - Can someone PLEASE help me solve this problem?

For some reason, I can't do special characters in an online game I play. I can do it on their website,
but not in gaming. I didn't have this problem with my old computer which had Windows XP. I have a
new PC with Windows 7 Home Premium. Could someone PLEASE help me solve this problem? I can't
even count how many times I asked this question and got no answer. I don't know how to solve this.

Possibly because the description is very vague.

The name of the game may help for a start.

It would help if you clearified your question. Please see my how to ask for help guide in my signature.

Good luck

The game is called Habbo.com. The game opens up in another window, and it requires Java and Flash Player to play. I have both and they're updated to their latest versions (not sure if that really matters). Anyway, I got this computer back in November of 2009 from BestBuy. I tried doing special characters back in November in gaming and it didn't work. On their website, alt + 159 appears as ƒ. But in gaming, it appears as a ♥. I tried doing that alt code in gaming but it comes out as an apostrophe instead. When I tried doing the ™ (Alt+0153) in gaming, it comes out as this: !". Hope I gave you some-what of a detailed description of my problem.

Alt Codes - that makes a bit more sense now.

It's an issue with the updated Habbo I believe.

Habbo Hotel US:

Sorry to say, I can't help you further than that

Perhaps try ALT+0131 ƒ

as for the others...

My friends have no problem doing alt codes on there, so I don't think that's the reason.
Could it have something to do with language packs? I can't install any language packs since
they're incompatible with Home Premium. It seems to have something to do with my computer,
since I tried doing alt codes on my old computer (which has language packs and Windows XP)
and it worked fine. It's not really a big deal but I would like to be able to do alt codes again in
gaming instead of watching other users being able to do it. I wish I could solve this so bad.

Honestly, it's hard to say.

The fact that you can do it outside of the game suggests it's not a language pack issue.

Did you have language packs installed for Java on your XP installation?

I'm not familiar enough with habbo, so I can only speculate.

The only other thing I can think to suggest is to perhaps try a different browser. If it still occurs, then I'd suspect it's Java that's altering the Alt Codes.

I'm not sure about language packs for Java, but I do know I have lang. packs on old PC.
I have Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox (both are updated to their latest versions), and
this problem happens in both browsers. I do notice that my Java says 32-bit when my PC is
64-bit. Can Java really be causing alt code problems? Because I didn't know that.
