Welcome to Gaia! ::

Unfortunately, to get onto the main Japanese client, there are a bunch of tedious steps to take, but you can't get on unless you do them. I'm going to post the step by step process for vista (because it's the only system I have crying ). If any of you have xp and are willing to put the step sequence, I'd be greatly appreciative.

-Under start, click the Control Panel
-Select Clock, Language, and Region
-Select Regional and Language Options
-Select the Keyboard and Languages tab
+Click "Change Keyboard"
+Click the "Add" button
+Scroll to Japanese and click the "+" beside it
+Click the "+" beside "Keyboard"
+Select "Japanese" and "Microsoft IME"
+Click "OK"
+Click "Apply" then "Ok"
-Select the Administrative tab
+Click the "Change System Locale" button
-={If a warning box pops up that says you need to have permission to continue, just select "continue"}=-
+Scroll to "Japanese (Japan)"
+Click "OK"
At this point it will ask you to restart your computer. If you have anything you want to save do so now. You need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
After the computer is fully loaded, install the program. It will run properly, but will take a moment to run the updates the first time.
