Help on displaying foreign languages correctly!

[Le Hosh Hosh]

I can't seem to fix this problem with the East Asian Language support on XP:

I've already tried this: http://newton.uor.edu/Departments&Programs/AsianStudiesDept/Language/asianlanguageinstallation_XP.html

Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

I think the meta-info in the files are not Unicode encoded, which Vista/XP displays. Simplest fix would be to open the files in a program to edit ID3 tags, and update the info or save the tag info as utf-8 encoded.

Do you have the language for non-unicode programs set correctly?

+1 to this comment. I'm pretty sure you're going to have to retag the files. If you use a good tagging program, it's not that big of a hassle.

I have fellow techs at work that I consult with - I always respond with that after a successful fix. I'm not so smug if I dork it up though
