I'm wondering if there is any way to type/view East Asian Languages (specifically japanese/korean) on north american versions of windows 98/me. I'm interested because i'm having a hard time finding an east asian copy of win98 down here in toronto.

All you have to do is reinstall the operating system from scratch and select the language you want it to use.

Details, Details, Its all in the Details, If you need help, Don't leave out the Details.

you do NOT have to reinstall from scratch I installed the cyrillic ( russian) keyboard set and fonts on both my 98 and xp systems using the regional and language settings in control panel then I went and got clear adhesive overlays for the KB from a company called Datacalc (or datacal I forget now) I can switch languages and keybaord layouts on the fly now with out reboot etc


**EDIT **ok it is <A HREF="http://www.datacal.com/dce/" target="_new"> Datacal </A> they were very fast when I ordered this set of overlays last year ( 3 days to my home)
