On a version of Windows Vista that uses a right-to-left language, such as Hebrew or Arabic, messages that appear in the notification area may not be displayed correctly. For example, when you move the mouse pointer over an icon that shows the current screen resolution, you may receive a message that resembles the following:

x1280, Color: 32Bpp [characters]

In this example, you expect to receive a message that resembles the following:

1280 x 1024, Color: 32 Bpp

This problem occurs if the intended message starts with a number.

The information in this article applies to the following configuration(s):

• Catalyst Control Center
• ATI Radeonâ„¢ X1600 series
• Windows Vista 32-bit Edition
• Windows Vista 64-bit Edition

Symptoms:
The ATI resolution and color text “mouse over” dialog box may contain a mix of English and Arabic

You perform an unattended setup of an Arabic or Hebrew version of Windows Vista by using an Unattend.xml file. In the Unattend.xml file, you use the RunSynchronous or RunAsynchronous command together with the option to display the command description during the auditUser pass. In this case, the graphical user interface (GUI) window that displays the description for each command is blank. When the same Unattend.xml file is used together with the English version of Windows Vista during the auditUser pass, the descriptions are displayed correctly.
