I just noticed that when I right click on my desktop, there are these random Japanese characters.

When I click on them, it seems to be for my graphics properties, and my resolution.

Is there a way to turn them back into English.

Toshiba m645 Laptop
Intel i5 M450. So integrated Graphics.

There was this Japanese game that my brother wanted to play. I guess something to do with the installation of it must have done something.

Welcome to SF :) .

Can you spend some more details?
What make and model is the laptop?
What GPU software you have installed, i.e. nVidia / AMD ?
Did you change anything, on the software side, before you noticed it?

I'm also not sure when this problem first arrived. I just noticed it now, but could have been like that for much longer.

I'm also on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
I just looked at my other laptop and I think the characters are for
Graphic Properties and Graphic Options.

Yes it does look like the intel hd graphics context menu.

I don't use the intel hd graphics so I can't experiment but if you right-click on the tray icon

Language setting should be under Options and Support.

You could always use Google Translate to make sense of the lettering.
