1. Change default code page from the Regional and Language options.
or
2. Use AppLoc

No worries. I only found out about AppLoc myself quite recently - comes in very handy if you're on a work computer and can't force everybody to use Japanese. (The old backspace turning into yen sign and such).
i have the same problem as moondandy, and i did install the asian fonts, but it's still not working...i can read english and chinese ok, but not japanese, do u have any other suggestions? thx!
ps. i use the chinese version of window XP
Right now I've set it to Japanese under the "Language for non-Unicode programs". I need this to so it can display Japanese in Winmx. But now it won't display Chinese correctly in Xnews. It seems I can only choose one at a time. Is there a way to make it display both Japanese and Chinese correctly without changing from Japanese to Chinese or vice-versa and restarting everytime?
