Language Problem On My Comp

[~GaLs~]

Wierd things happen to my computer.

My computer do supports chinese reading and writing.
Ex: I can write chinese: 啊
Ex: I can view chinese websites: www.sogou.com(Yea, I do see chinese words in the page)

The problem is, when ever i download a chinese software, such as QVOD.
When I'm installing it, I just saw "?????".
Everything is question marks, how come?

Not even chinese software, even chinese game such as Xdo Online.
They just give me question marks on every chinese word.

What "non-Unicode languages" settings are you using? They should be set to some asian language.

Assuming you're on XP:
Control panel -> Regional Settings -> Advanced -> 1st group


You've got a prefectly genuine copy, right? Partially disabling support for non-english languages could be a bonus "feature" pirates get with their free software (just a guess, I don't know what WGA does beside changing your background to black).

It is selected as "English (United States)".
Should I change it?
How?

you need the right language support (you need windows cd to install it)
and to change the regional settings to the right type (in this case chinese, then it prompts you to restart your computer)

Yes, you should change that setting. Pick your language/character set from the list below (Code page conversion tables). As Chocobo already mentionned, you'll need an XP CD-ROM to install the locales (if haven't already done so).

You may then switch that English to your language and after the mandatory reboot, it'll be (probably) fine.
