Japanese Computer Capabilities

[Vegetasama]

OK...so i want to be able to write Japanese on my computer. I tried to download this through microsoft...nothing but a big joke. I have windows xp (not embedded) with office 2003 (not xp). So I think I'm screwed and getting pretty pissed off at microsoft for again making a lousy and poorly thought out product . Can anyone help me? Thanks!!

Yeah, Mac is right: Search & you'll find! We have several threads in the forum dealing with similar problems. For a start you could try this one:

Japanese IME

But note that the first post in that thread contains an error. It says
"Date, Time, Language" when that should have been "Regional and Language Options".

It works fine, I count your problems down to user error. Solution? Replace user

If you could have the NORMAL, STANDARD version of WinXP, then you should have no problem viewing and/or inputting multilanguages. Mine is Tablet PC and I can use almost any languages that Windows supports. However, if you are still facing the same problem, you can let us know.
