characters which are not supported

#1 (**permalink**) January 2nd, 2005

Hello
When I want to download brazilian songs with characters like õ or others I get the error message: Limewire cannot open a necessary file becaouse the file name contain characters which are not supported by your operating system. Limewire may behave in unexpected ways.
I have windows ME as operating system so it should work, shouldn't it? Can anyone help me?

If your language setting for your Windows is not for Portugese or whichever language applies then that is most likely the reason for this issue. Java 1.5 gives improved language support but if you don't have that particular character set installed on your computer then it might not make any difference.

Thank you for the answer. But what you mean by "you don't have that particular character set installed on your computer"? With the keyboard I can produce the õ or similar signs..
