I'm using Vista Ultimate. I have a Microsoft Word Document written in Chinese. The file name is in Chinese also. My computer cannot display the file name, but when opened with Microsoft Word, all the text can be displayed. Microsoft Word also displayed the file name in Chinese.

How do I display the Chinese name of the file on my desktop?

I tried to change my system locale to Chinese (PRC), but after rebooting, the system crashed and will not start up. I had to do a system roll back.

Am I missing a system locale file? Where can I download this? Or do I need to install the MUI language packs?

No you do not need the Language pack, i think the only thing you need to do is install East Asian Languages, this option is on "regional setting and languages".

I thought you can choose the option to download it in the Windows Update.

I tried that and it doesn't work. Thanks anyway.
