I want to see chinese characters on my laptop, but i can't. I only see a bunch of squares with nothin inside. Only English i cansee, but none different languages. My laptop is a sony vaio XP. Is there like any settings i have to change or something? Help please :)

Answer:
Windows XP both has an excellent level of built-in Chinese support. Users have easy access to Chinese fonts and input methods. Here's how:

From the Begin button, select Settings and then the Control Panel. From the options on the Control Panel select “Regional Options”. The General tab will give you the option to change your default locale, which is what programs running on your computer use to customize themselves for different languages and locations.

Please Note: Not all programs recognize and act on the locale, but many Microsoft programs do. You don’t need to change this to any of the Chinese locales (which include Hong Kong, Taiwan, PRC, Singapore, and Macau) to enable Chinese support, but it might be a good change if you work primarily in Chinese.

Answer:
you have to install the east asian language thing.

go to control panel.
then religion and language options
then click on the tab languages
and click on install east asian languages.

i think you will need either the windows xp reformatting disk, or the windows xp service pack disk to install it.

after that, you can read any asian language
