How to open chm file when the path using chinese letter

[bchen8]

I have a set of chm files and all files named Chinese letter, as well as path. All files are stored in a local disk. System is XP/SP2. I got error: "can't open the file: mk@MSITStore:....". If I change the file name in English and put it in full English path the location, I CAN OPEN it w/o any problem.

So, my problem is: how to open a chm file when the path or (and) file name contains Chinese char? Thanks.

Switch PC language to Chinese, remove English, run only one language ?
Or at least make Chinese the main language.

Thank you for your response. Due to my WindowXP is English based OS, so I have no way to remove English language. I've tried t make Chinese as 1st language, but it does not work.

Tried applying the Service Pack 3 and see how that works ?

Easy fix. Go to Control Panel/Regional and Language Options/. Change the Standards and formats to Chinese. You should be able to read chm files containing Chinese characters in file names.
