Wireless Devices cannot connect to modem-router

Perme — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 14:02:42 +0800

I just got a new D-Link Wireless N ADSL2+Modem Router and set it up. I have no problem with internet access using any pcs or notebooks connected directly to the router.

However, there is a problem with trying to connect using wifi.

If I set the wifi security to OPEN, all my laptops can connect to the internet.
If I use WEP with a 13 character PW, none of my notebooks can connect. The network can be detected but when I enter the pw, no connection can be made.

What did I do wrong? Can anyone help?

Win 7 - Chinese Input

Perme — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 13:04:24 +0800

I have some problems with Hanyi Pinyoin Input.

In Win 7, I have selected
microsoft pinyin new experience input style
microsoft pinyin ABC input style

I can input Chinese characters correctly when I set the language bar to Chinese。

However，when I set the language bar to English ...

John's appears as John(chinese character)
"Private" appears as "Priv(chinese character)?"

Any French words with tilde diacritical marks are also interpreted as Chinese.

How do I correct this irritating issue?

Thanks.
