I have two machines, both with the latest version of Adobe reader installed. I have received an email which contains 2 .pdf file attachments - the file names are in Russian Font (Cryllic)

PC 1 opens these docs fine - I double click the file name and the document opens as usual.

PC 2 comes up with the following error message "There was an error opening the document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect" - Though if I save the files to my machine and then rename them using English fonts - they open up without any problems.

Both machines are XP SP2 - any ideas why one machine will open the files fine, but the other one has problems?

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Benny
