[help] displaying east-asian characters

hi guys .. really need ur help ..
as u can see i'm new to this forum and new to windows 7 ..

and i been googled around for whole week .. trying everything .. and my windows still show those east-asian characters as "boxes"

i think this is the right forum to get the right help .. hehehe

this is the list i already tried ..
1. changing the system locale to chinese PRC
2. downloading chinese/korea/japanese language packs
3. downloading chinese fonts
4. unhide the fonts
5. and few others method i found googling around

really pissed off right now .. why microsoft makes it so difficult just to display east-asian characters .. when i'm using xp .. its so much simpler ..

i don't need to type those characters .. hell . i don't even know how to read korean or japanese .. hehe

i just want it to properly displayed when i'm playing korean song or surfing to chinese site ..

anyway .. big thanks in advance ..

thanks mike .. how bout displaying properly on the windows .. like on the folders and songs ?

@arc .. nothing too important for me to read bro ..
it just annoy me when i saw those "boxes" .. hehe

thanks again mike .. i'll try anything at this moment .. hehe

chinese is my priority bro .. since i have a lot of collection for chinese songs and i don't want it to keep showing boxes only .. :)

If I launched the program (in this example, Winamp) via Microsoft Applocale with the desired display language setting, it got the names displaying properly.

I'd be interested in seeing that too, Mike.

I have it working pretty well in pe3 - but the english fonts aren't specially attractive as a result.
