Internet Explorer Russian language

Question

Dear All, especially Russian-speaking friends,   Please help me to solve a problem: I can type in Russian in the address line of the MS Internet Explorer, but it doesn't work in any other field! Letters in Russian do not appear in the MS Internet Explorer fields like Search line in Google or Yahoo; none of Hotmail lines like To: Cc: Bcc: Subject or Text window. I tried to do ‘standard’ steps: 1) I added Russian language: Start - Control Panel - Regional and Language Options. The result was as following: - Here I type in English middle row of the keyboard:  asdfghjkl - Now, I switch to Russian and do the same: DK20?@>;4, but these are not Russian letters 2) I tried to add Russian as additional language to the Keyboard in Regional and Language Options - same (negative) result.  What else can be done??  Pls help!!

Dear Lamakk, Unfortunately it did not help. I did all steps as it is written in the article before.... Something must be wrong with software. Any other suggestions??

I don't use Russian, but thought I'd try it out.   I added the Russian language in Regional and language options. It added keyboard (Russian) [and also handwriting recognition, not that I would use that].    I have the language bar in the task bar.   selecting English (UK, or US, I have both) in the language bar   Google search box, type in middle row:   asdfghjkl;'#   selecting Russian in the language bar,   Google search box, type in middle row:   фывапролджэ\   Also worked in Yahoo search box.   By the way, you can also use the on screen virtual keyboard in Windows XP   C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\osk.exe   When you select a language in the language bar it shows the characters in the chosen keyboard when you hover your mouse over it. This types the chosen language in all apps (Office apps, Wordpad, IE) except Notepad.   PS looking at the article that was linked in a couple of posts above, I noticed that the illustration showed   Russian keyboard US. Mine does not show that: it shows Keyboard, Russian.

Thanks for reply. I did exactly the same before, but when i went to Google (Yahoo) search box, or to the Hotmail and typed in Russian (with Russian selected in the language bar, middle row of keys) what appeared was:  DK20?>;46M which was not the same what you've got: фывапролджэ\ I copy-pasted it here, otherwise it works the same way: DK20?>;46M.......   Maybe there is something wrong with Internet Explorer version installed in my machine?..   Any other suggestions??
