Does your username include characters not found in the alphabet (excluding numbers of course)? I know that there have been problems with it trying to read from folders that have characters from languages other than English, but I am not sure how people have been solving this.

No, my username is the same than Demigod forums and Impulse but I have non english character in my first name in my profile of Impulse.

what about your \Local Settings\ folder. it also stuffs up on non-English Windows installs.

 

if you look back through the forum, someone made a nice fix to this and kindly posted coherent instructions to follow.
