    Default Box box box box box = ?

    This computer is pretty old, so I can't read languages with different characters, like Japanese. All I see are boxes. So I ask: what can I download so I can read them?

    Thanks in advance. <3

    you will be able to read japanese characters if you download an asian character set or an IME.

    The character sets probably will require an actual cd copy of windows, so the IME is the easiest way to go about it if you're lacking that; Microsoft Global Input Method Editors (IMEs)

    No luck. I downloaded the IME, and it wouldn't install, saying it wouldn't work on my version of Windows (XP.)

    It's either Home or Professional. I can't remember which.

    well I mean like sp1 or sp2 or the OEM version. I guess more pertinent is 'do you have office xp if no click the link to go to the global page'

    Windows XP doesn't need a download Go to Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages > tick Install support for East Asian languages. You can tick the other one too if you want, then apply/OK You might need the XP CD or install files to hand though

    You might be able to get away with installing Office XP instead with such support if you don't have the XP CDs, but I've not tried that way myself before
    Problems playing downloaded videos? Try CCCP

    That's the thing. I can't find the XP CD.

    Download a copy of XP and burn it then? Since you have a legal key it doesn't matter where you get the CD from.
