Cannot display SOME chinese characters

[skinnyboywolfie@gmail.com]

I bought a laptop that came with Windows Vista Home Premium. When I
download some chinese songs, some of them will display and some will
appear as gibberish..... there is no language pack avail for vista
yet. I really dont' know what to do... is there anyway around it? Any
programs that can help solve this? Thanks!

Open Region and Language in the Control Panel and under Formats tab
select Chinese (PRC) as current format then select the Administrative
tab and press the Change System Locale button and set for Chinese
(PRC) as well.

On the Keyboards and Languages tab you can a Chinese IME as well for
inputting pinyin for Chinese characters.
