I got a Japanese game on my laptop a few days ago, and I can't really play it because all the text shows up as this: "‚Í‚Ò‚Æ‚çŠO“@ƒAƒCƒi‚ÌV¥“ú‹L"]‚Í‚Ò‚Æ ‚çŠO“@ƒAƒCƒi‚ÌV¥“ú‹L"]‚çŠO“`@ƒAƒCƒi‚ÌV¥“ú‹L" or this: "…........" I thought changing my keyboard to Japanese would fix it, but nothing happened. Is there anyway I can fix this?
Thanks in advance.
I'm not that sure, as I havent done this in a while. But I think you could try this!

Best of luck. Hope it helps 
Depending on what OS you're using I should be able to help. On XP at least go to the Control Panel and then to Regional Options or something similar. Click around in the tabs (I'm running 7 atm so I can't give you an exact) until you find a checkbox that says "Install East Asian Languages". Check it and then press either apply or OK and it should work then.
What Kairouseki said.
You still see ANSI characters when you type japanese or chinese one? I would try to write something in word to test.
With that said you need to have the asian languages installed and you need Fonts that support asian characters.
A simple test would be to use "arial unicode" and try to type something.
