All righty, I'm using a program right now that is in Japanese. The only problem is, the real Japanese text doesn't appear on my computer. I don't know why this would be, considering that I have the Japanese language packs installed AND Global IME (so I can also type it, etc.) Does anyone have a clue as to what might be causing this? Instead, it shows random symbols (not Japanese.)
I know Microsoft Explorer sometimes shows websites this way before you right click->Encoding->Japanese, but I don't think there's any way to do this on a program. I was just curious if there was a way to fix it. Thanks for your help!

Japanese Program Difficulties
"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia

I've had the problem myself many times, and usually what I do is just reinstall it and it works. I really don't know what it is, I just reinstall and it works, never got around to figuring it out.

Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Advanced. Set "Language for non-Unicode programs" to Japanese, and confirm. Restart. This has a few cosmetic side-effects (backslashes become yen signs), but English programs still work fine in addition to displaying Japanese correctly.
