Need a way for the comp to recognise kanji

by Last Exile » Sat Apr 19, 2008 7:03 pm

If one does not have WIndows XP Professional CDs in their possession anymore ( :x @ Mum), is there another way to get hold of the unicode and codecs required or whatever so that kanji can be read properly?

Have you tried looking on the Microsoft website for asian text support?

Or if you don't want to install Windows Genuine (dis)Advantage, you can download the CDs from somewhere. It's legit if you have a legit license key.

I did try the Microsoft website. They're not validating our copy even though it was legit. :x *sigh* So I can't access the material on that site.
