• How to display Chinese characters in Windows 7 Home Premium?

  I see Chinese characters very well in my browser, but all I see are boxes instead the characters for the programs on my computer (running Windows 7 Home Premium). What I want to know is this: is there a way to display Chinese computers in windows?

  Before I am flooded with a bunch of useless answers telling me to install the "language pack", I must repeat: I'm under Windows 7 HOME PREMIUM. Yes, I tried going to Microsoft Updates and download the language pack. Unfortunately, I can't see the link for me to download the language pack, since I am running Home Premium, but in operating systems, the ability to see the other languages has been included. In other words, just because I'm running updated the operating system compared to some of the older operating systems, I don't see another language, unless I pay update.
  Seriously, Microsoft? Seriously?
  Also, I have in fact look around here to try to find a solution to my problem. Unfortunately, no one ever really answered it. Because the only problem here seems to be a complete disregard of the user and the will to pull as much money on Windows users unhappy. Windows, that is why your stock is lagging. And why I must say that you are unable to many ways to Apple. But if there is a solution, please, by all means, I'm willing to change my assessment.
  Sincerely,
  A frustrated and unhappy Windows user.

  Chinese characters have been present for a few months. I tried to use various programs of detection of viruses such as MalewareBites, but they do not seem to solve the problem. These Chinese characters appear on the initial search screen of Firefox and my Bank ANZ and Ancestry.com.au Web pages just to name a few. How can I get rid of them.

• Why the Chinese characters on the tabs appearring?

  Hello

  I seem to have a problem. From time to time, which seems to be radicals/Chinese characters appear on my tabs - as shown in the picture. I "refreshed" firefox a few times, but I can't seem to identify where it comes from, or why it's happening.

  I don't know if my system or the version of Firefox has been hijacked, or if it's an add-on that allows an intrusion. Well - really - I don't know what is happening.

  Any ideas?

  Too bad.

  I see that it is the McAfee SiteAdvisor program that creates the problem.

  I will contact McAfee about this and disable or uninstall SiteAdvisor.

• How to make windows XP SP3 display Chinese characters correctly in the programs?

  I am running Windows XP SP3 and I need Chinese language to view a program. (in Windows 2000 it displays very well) I installed East Asian language packs and the Chinese buttons now display gibberish. Y at - it installation work best for the language to Chinese? I went in the section advanced and made sure everything I checked options Chinese had it but still the same... I followed the links to "install files for East Asian without CD-ROM.
  http://forums.techarena.in/Windows-XP-support/873146.htm"but that doesn't give me what I have on XP SP3 ORIGINAL CD. Y at - it a fix for this or is the police by default for windows is not compatible with the Chinese language?

  Please help and if you could not mark as 'responded' unless you actually answer my question.

  Just in case where U ignored my above features:
  Windows XP with SP3.
  Already installed the files for East Asian CD and download.
  At the default font on the desktop.

  Ok... I thought about it, you must set your "format" in the regional settings in the option "Chinese (simplified, PRC) ' for the installed language pack to work for Chinese characters. My programs now display the correct characters. I imagine that by selecting the right 'Format' to use will help out with all the other languages also.

  FYI: I had to do that very thing on a machine Windows 7 has not been posted by the correct characters. I fixed it the same way :-)

• Hello I am downloading from my site and my characters are messy. I type an e (taken glyphs-window), but what appears is an and the copyright sign? can someone tell me how I get rid off this

  Hello I am downloading from my site and my characters are messy. I type an e (taken glyphs-window), but what appears is an and the copyright sign? can someone tell me how I get rid off this?

  I tried a lot of things, but nothing seems to make a difference.

  In my view, they have already done for you...

  The site seems OK now. Hooray !

  But let's dig down to the serious things of this.

  If the browser needs a statement of character. Probably ' UTF-8 ', but another or an older one would be as well, as long as it's cheap, and it respects the method of characterization of the Web page.

  This statement can be provided by (1) the web server itself (its default value), (2) the htaccess file in your web root directory server, or (3) on each web page. Where there are several and contradictory statements perhaps, the older in the command above rules. But in the case where the Server and the htaccess do not provide a statement of character and your web page later on, it shouldn't be a problem.

  Your provider said that they do not have a such context in their web server, and it wasn't a htaccess file in your root folder (Muse is not create it for you). Once again: do not worry, it should always be no problem, because all your web pages provides the declaration as well (thanks to Muse). We have checked that, no doubt.

  That is where their claim is not accurate. BTW: many tips are on the Internet on the common practice in this area and they all advice that the htaccess is not the place more obvious to the declaration. The page is the best place to put it.

  W3C (the 'boss' of http and html)

  some general information:

  Choosing & applying a character encoding

  putting in a .htaccess file:

  Definition of charset in .htaccess information

  and finally, put on the page:

  Declaring character encodings in HTML

  But what is even more strange: I checked the web server of your provider to access this service online, and it seems that their server is to provide a framework (and it is UTF-8, fortunately). It's the opposite of what they have been say...

  Now I have the idea of some personal provider noticed this morning that their server wasn't working properly (maybe after a failure of server or another incident or failure), serving the pages with a wrong setting. Then maybe they quickly corrected, and not to let you know that, they tell you to put in place this htaccess file (which makes no difference, just as the declaration of your page also could not prevail in the setting of the server).

  So now, you are done with all the three statements: a parameter, a htaccess in your Web site folder and that of your server page. As long as they all say and expect the same (UTF-8) you don't have to worry about this.

  Problem solved, three times!

  PS: many accommodation providers (and I'm afraid that yours as well) tend to declaring that whatever they do is 'standard' and 'obvious'. While in many situations, it's always a little different and certainly not the standard, not to mention obvious...

• Chinese characters on IE comments will not appear.

  On my comments, when I go to a website that contains Chinese characters, they not displayed in IE.  I see are a bunch of small squares.  It works fine on my host computer running the same operating system.  What is a short entry for VMware Server?  Can I correct the problem?  Thanks for your suggestions.  Enjoy, John.

  Host and guest systems:

  Windows XP Pro x 64 edition;

  VMware Server 2.0.0 build 116503

  Chinese characters are not installed by default.  You must install them on the guest operating system.

• Chinese characters appear from nowhere, then using find and replace in dreamweaver

  It is a strange, Chinese characters appear from nowhere, then using find and replace (in the folder) in dreamweaver. the replacement text is Chinese characters on the open document, others are ok

  Sounds like the Configuration of your entire file is damaged.

  Rename your folder Dreamweaver MX\Configuration Old_Configuration.

  When you restart Dreamweaver, it will create a new Configuration file for you.

  Good luck!
