    Vista - Notepad - cannot read the texts


    The minute I formatted my p.c to it's factory settings, all the Arabic texts were disappeared and changed to characters and symbols.
    How do I fix this problem and change the symbols back to Arabic?

    Are you running Vista Ultimate ?

    Run Windows update.

    The system I have is Vista Home Premium. I went to the Regional and Language options then ===> Change keyboard ==> add Arabic keyboard.
    Still nothing changed from the symbol writings.

    Hi Oday1, welcome to the Seven Forums.

    Did you remember to set system locale to Arabic in Control Panel > Region and Language settings after resetting to factory settings:

    The problem is solved, thanks to you. The snapshot was a brilliant idea and made it easier for me to follow.
