Anyone know why my computer doesn't display Asian characters, instead my computer decides to change them into squares.

Like this if you don't know what I mean:

it's because you haven't installed the characters of that language

is it only windows explorer or does even your browser do this?

I don't use explorer. I use google chrome. Anyway everything is displayed on the browser but the minute I download anything with a different language besides English they turn into squares. Things such as music and movies.

Alright one of two problems. Either your OS or Chrome.

Lets try this first, easiest:
  1. Open your start menu and type "Windows update". Press enter
  2. Near the middle it should say "Important updates" and "Optional Updates"
  3. Go into Optional updates.
  4. If there are asian language packs in there that you don't have installed install them. Or install all like I did :D

If that doesn't work post here again and we can find solution. Also are you on 32 bit or 64 bit windows 7?

Also give me the link to the site, I want to see if my chrome has issues too.
