    Hey guys, I've just been wondering, my PC had to be reformatted so I lost all my programs, and now I can't type or read Chinese, Korean and other languages. Can anyone help?

    I'm running on Windows XP btw, plus I don't think I can find my SP 2 CD.

    Thanks.

    Do you want to be able to do this on the internet, or in a program like Word?

    for internet explorer...
    View > Encoding > More > (now choose your language)

    I don't know what version of word you're using so I wouldn't know what to tell you since word 2007 is a lot different from word 2003

    This should work to use in MS Word, got it from the Microsoft website:

    1.In Microsoft Windows XP, on the Windows Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Office, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings.
    In Windows 2000, on the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Office, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings
    2. Click the Enabled Languages tab.
    3. In the Choose the language that defines default behavior in Microsoft Office applications box, select the language you want, and then click OK.
    4. A message appears describing the effects of the change. To continue, click Continue and lose customizations.
