Mephisto Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 I guess I'll be the first to ask a question here. I enabled the viewing of Japanese characters on my computer to be able to read the comments in some coding language I was trying to learn. I have since disabled the characters, but I have the annoying problem of having my \ key replaced by a yen sign in various places. Sometimes, when I open up a text document, three letters together will produce a different japanese character. The originals were always at the end of a contraction, ex. that's, who's and the like. There are probably more, but I can't recall all of them at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 I did a search and found this: http://greggman.com/japan/xp-ime/xp-ime.htm Try that out and if it doesn't work, let's work from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephisto Posted August 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 I guess I should have told you an important bit of information, but I forgot all about it until it was too late and I had the 'Regional and Language Options' menu opened. I've already attempted that fix. Every time I open that menu and press Ok or Apply, I get a bsod. I'll just live with the problem. It's not like I don't know what the characters should say, anyways.

Wolfie Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Next time it happens, can you get down the BSOD message? That might help pinpoint the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephisto Posted August 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Yeah, sure. I'll do it in a bit. I'll post all the info I can get after I restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Would help if you had a camera, then you could just take a picture and upload it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephisto Posted August 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 I don't have a digital camera or a scanner for my regular film camera. Forget about this topic. I fixed it. I only got the BSOD after opening the details section of 'Regional and Language Options.' I found something else in that menu that helped. Thanks for your time.

Wolfie Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 What was the solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephisto Posted August 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Control Panel\Regional and Language Options\Advanced tab. Select 'English (United States)' from drop-down menu and press OK or Apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Simple enough. So if anyone else ever has that problem (and finds it here) they'll be able to thank you for the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
