Okay, a noob is asking noobish question >.>

Spoiler:

Alright, straightly and bluntly, how to make the hiragana become available? ._.
If it requires download, can you please give the details what file to download, and if possible, include the link in the reply @.@
Sorry if this is kinda bothersome =.=

Thanks,

Find a Japanese Language Pack if you're XP.

Doesn't understand a thing. @_@

Does it need re-installation?

Hmm... alright.... i think i'll make a Guide.

*writes one up*

Installation of Language Support

-When 'should-be' Japanese/Chinese/Korean Characters appear as boxes on your computer, you need this.

Guide for Windows XP :

[>]Locate "Regional and Language Options" on your Control Panel.
[>]Next click on Languages Tab, You should see 2 Check Boxes in the "Supplemental Language Support" box.
[>]Click on "Install files for East Asian Languages"
[>]Windows will prompt the required files for this, either located on your Windows XP Install Disc (Your Original Install Disc) or downloaded from the internet (around 400-500mb)
[>]Let the installation take place and your Computer might ask for a Computer Restart, Restart your computer.
[>]Your computer should now be able to read UTF-8 format characters (Your Asian Characters)

I have the same problem, and I believe I may have just fixed it.

[1] Regional Settings
[2] Click on the Advanced tab
[3] On the long list, make sure Japanese is ticked.
[4] On the non-unicode dropout bar, select Japanese.
[5] Restart

I have yet to restart, as I was installing a MUI. Ill be back in a few minutes to report the situation.

If you still don't know how to do, google is your best friend.

This can't be very good. My theory is wrong.

I've also tried applocale, and MUI packs, all show very little difference.

Installing the MUI sort of made a difference for me, if you want to try it out, seeing as it may work on some people;

First get and install

Then get and install

I'm up to date for everything.

Googling tells you to install the language, which doesnt work more than half the time.

I had found my methods searching in korean in japanese, in which it had good results. Problem is, most searches returned with how to fix it on Win2k.

We all did.

"Update Windows"

Thats byfar the worse thing you can do.
You're better off installing a russian version of Windows Vista 16 bit while trying downloading from Limewire for 24 hours straight with all firewalls and antivirii off.
