Why the Question Marks????????

If you see the title of this blog to be “Tung Sai”, and then a bunch of question marks below it, it is because you do not have EAST-ASIAN LANGUAGES installed on your Windows computer! I invite you to do so, because it will add the flavor to the site, and allow you to see the written language of the majority of the people in the world… and perhaps somebody even related to you by marriage!

However, to do so is somewhat of a chore. Since I just built myself a new dream machine computer, I also forgot to include the east asian language support when I installed XP. (Hey, I just wanted to hurry up and check my frame rates in my games!)

So, slow down for a second, and take two minutes to add more robustness to your system!

Step 1 is the hardest:

1. Find your Windows XP CD and put it in the drive.

WHEW! that took forever, my cd was hidden and I had to ask help to find it.

2. Go to the control panel > Regional and Language Options.

3. Click on the “Languages” tab and check the check-box that says “Install files for east asian languages”. it takes a while, then you have to reboot. Maybe do this later.

There! Now you can see the chinese characters on the WWW.
