Is anyone else using a non english OS. I am using Spanish xp home edition, sp2 on my p4 machine. I posted a question about connect software not working and got a prompt reply which bypassed the problem, I now use libprs500. The trouble is that there are so many other issues.

html2lrf cli opens and closes (I thought I couldn't find it but it won't stay open)
BBeBinder detects a problem and shuts down.
firmware update goes through the process but does nothing.
the only one which works is Bookdesigner (great program but can't open html0 help files)

is this normal, could it be something to do with the fact that the reader was never intended for use outside the US so there was no reason to support other languages. I am not sure if is worth putting another partition with English XP or use a virtual machine? Is there another alternative program which can convert word docs or html, including images, to lrf like htmltolrf does? Thanks
