1. Symbol Display Failure in WinXP Prof

I have an old version of American Heritage Dictionary (Third Edition,
Version 3.5, 1994) that cannot have a normal symbol display in
Simplified Chinese Windows XP Professional installed in my new Dell
OptiPlex GX260. However, in my previous Windows 98SE (Simplified
Chinese Version) I could manage it have a normal display with adding a
line of ahd3=0x01000000 below the [compatibility] column. But I failed
to achieve the same effect when I tried with Windows XP this time.
Previously, the screen display would also show Chinese characters when
the above line of ahd3=0x01000000 was removed from the [compatibility]
column of win.ini in Win98SE. However, the old trick failed with
advanced WinXP Pro, i.e., the Chinese characters would be displayed
instead of normal symbol fonts provided by the dictionary. I wonder
why it does not work when I added the same line into the win.ini file
of WinXP Pro.

I have tried the program compatibility wizard and followed all of its
options without any positive results. Other people suggested me
install a double operation system to have the normal display but I
don't want to do so. It seems that  [compatibility] do not  work any
more in the WinXP. Is there any alternative approach to solve my
problem?

Any guru could help? I prefer this editon of dictionary tremendously
and I don't want to give it up. I can never thank you enough for your
kind help.
