In my collection I have movies in English, but also in Russian, the English catalog works great, but with the Russian....
I can't run scripts, the program doesn't recognize the language and even if I copy/paste the info into the field, it turns into question marks the second I leave the movie page and go to a different movie,
please help.

P.S I'm using WinXP SP2 if it makes any difference.( not a Russian one, but I do use Multilingual Support ant haven't had any problems on other programs I use)

Russian characters will only work if the default codepage/language/country is set to one that uses russian characters.
Ant Movie Catalog is currently Ansi rather than Unicode, so it can only handle system character set.
In a future version I'll probably add at least a minor support for unicode (fields display & html export) but I will probably never be able to make it full unicode compliant (e.g. for the printing)

Thanks, I guess I'll have to wait for the next version.

Not the next version, but a future version, I do not know which one yet I have so many things to add that are more important that I even do not know if I'll add unicode one day.
If you do not want to change your system settings, you can try to force the character set only for AMC. There is a program provided for that by Microsoft, I'll try to find it this evening.

Here is the tool, but it is only for XP & 2003

I'll try that and let you know if it worked. Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Downloaded it, installed it, works great!!! If anyone asks again and has WinXP, go ahead and offer them this solution!!!
Thanks again.
