How do I get my computer to display Kanji and the like?

I know this is probably an easy fix, but I have no idea how to do it. It has something to do with a language pack, correct? How do I install that? Thanks!

Go to any Japanese website, like http://www.yahoo.co.jp, and if you don't have it installed it should prompt you to install it. If you're on XP I think you'll need your setup discs, though.

Is it just to view Japanese characters, or do you want to type them too?

I didn't get a prompt, so I'll go looking for those setup discs, and this is just so I can see them. Thanks!

Go to the language settings under control panel. There is a tab there that has a checkbox that will install the "Asian Pack", you need the xp setup disc to be in the drive.
