The Board is Down with no repair ETR. My apologies but we don't have the money or resources to repair the issue. It is broken on the back-end and is only here to view as an archive. Thank you for your years of patronage.

Mine did it fine without any intervention, but check the menu: View / Character Encoding / and it should be set on Japanese (Shift_JIS). I don't know if this is a function of the browser or if it relies on something in the OS.

I can't remember what exactly you need to do for specific programs. I just set up everything. For XP (you'll probably need your CD)...
1. CONTROL PANEL > REGIONAL AND LANGAUGE OPTIONS > LANGUAGES >INSTALL FILES FOR EAST ASIAN LANGAUGES
2. CONTROL PANEL > REGIONAL AND LANGAUGE OPTIONS > LANGUAGES > ADVANCED > CODE PAGE CONVERSION TABLES > tick everything Japanese... or just tick all of them, which will probably be easier.
3. Pickup the IME, which is always useful, even if just searching for random things on Amazon... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... layLang=en
Speaking of the IME, are there any keyboard shortcuts to switch between Japanese and English, and also katakana/hiragana, etc? No biggie, I just find keyboard shortcuts a little faster, rather than fiddling around with menus in the taskbar.
