SYMPTOMS
In the Bulgarian language version of Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition for Subscription Computers, two popup tooltips display accented vowels instead of Cyrillic letters.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because of an error in the control that is used to display localized text. When the tooltips display the Bulgarian tooltip text, the tooltips incorrectly use the Latin character set. (The Latin character set is used to display such languages as English, Spanish, and French.) However, the Cyrillic character set must be used to display the Bulgarian and the Russian languages correctly.



Tooltip 1
On a computer that is not activated, the correct English text for the tooltip is as follows:

&quot;Displays how many hours and minutes you have to activate Windows and confirm your subscription. Click the Activate Windows button to begin.&quot;

Tooltip 2
On a computer that is activated or on a computer that is permanently provisioned, the correct English for the tooltip is as follows:

&quot;Displays the date through which your computer is active. When you are confirmed for the next period, this date is extended. To try confirming your subscription now, click the Confirm Subscription button.&quot;



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.



Steps to reproduce the problem

 * 1) On the Subscription icon menu, click View Subscription Computer Status.
 * 2) In the Subscription Computer Status dialog box, click the ? symbol.
 * 3) On the Current Status tab, click anywhere in the Confirmation Status box.
