help with getting Japanese characters to show up - 06-07-2009, 08:36 PM

I have a program for this on my own comp, but I'm on my mom's right now. and she doesn't have the cd. I can't remember what program I'm using.

Does anyone know what programs can be downloaded, and installed, to get this to work?

Windows XP has Japanese input built in. If you don't have the Windows CD on hand, just go to your Language Settings in Control Panel and look around. I don't use XP anymore, so I don't remember. BUt you don't need to download a program for XP to support Japanese.

What program? Because if XP Pro isn't showing Japanese characters, you're doing it wrong.

Edit I'd never heard of XP Pro Essential. I did some googling and wikipediaing. It looks to me like XP Pro Essential is only a pirated OS. If this is true, I'd like to point out that you get what you pay for.

Microsoft's own site lists only five versions of XP:
XP Home
XP Pro
XP MCE
XP Tablet PC
XP Pro x64

Hmm, you could be right.... I got this OS with a computer we weren't using at work, and at the time I thought it was just a bare-bones version. The desktop does look quite different from most versions of XP I've seen...

That is just Windows XP with a custom theme.

For the language, Microsoft Global Input Method Editors (IMEs)

Read that page, depends if you have Office or not. That page will lead you to install the language.
