Enabling Japanese on a computer - How ?

[KnooKie]

Hello

I need to enable Japanese on a machine so that it can be viewed and typed in (english keyboard though). It has english set by default. I have a problem though..........

so far i have added Japanese language to the Regional Options in the control panel and that appears to be happily ticked.

I have also added Japanese input locale via the keyboard option (text services window) and that appears to be happily installed also.

So i can now switch between English (EN) and Japanese (JP) on the task bar (bottom right of screen). I cannot however type in or view Japanese for some reason ?

I have appropriate fields set to a Japanese font in a database as well.

I had this setup some time ago but can't seem to get it setup again ?

I assume i'm missing something but do not know what it is ?


many thanks for any help

I am going to ask you inevitable question.

"Did you restart the machine?"
