I've got a whopper here...

I need to use WP 5.1 in DOS for my work. My old computer (running on XP) just upped and died on me, so I had to go out and get a new one (obviously, with Vista).

I need to change the language settings to French Canada to be able to type accents. The way I had found to do this in XP was to make sure the "extend advanced text services to all programs" box was checked. It seems that option is no longer available in Vista. Anyone have any ideas how I can solve this???

I'm really stuck, I have a big job I need to hand in on Monday...

Oh, and while I'm at it, anyone know how to expand my DOS window to full screen??? Used to ba Alt-Enter in XP. All I get now is: "This system does not support fullscreen mode"...

Help, please, anyone...?? !!
