First, if you get ??????????'s instead of russian text, download a program called AppLocale. Search on google.

Second, if you don't understand the russian instructions, it won't help you. It's not some magical hypnosis program, it just help with reality checks, but at such intensity that you get LD's a lot.

As for VPC, no clue. I dual boot with Linux, so if I ever need to run windows programs, I use XP. *shrug*.
