I have loaded some music files with Chinese filename into the PC (running Vista Premium) but I can't have the filename decoded. I installed the latest version of NJS Viewer but it seems it doesn't work (an older version of NJS Viewer does work on my XP machine). I just tried with NJS Communicator and yet the Chinese filename still can't be decoded.

Help appreciated.

Does Windows Explorer shows the Chinese filename? What player did you use anyway?

make sure you have east asian language file pack installed in the regional and languages options @ control panel. With that installed you don't need any 3rd party chinese software to have your chinese characters decoded at all

My Vista comes with Dell PC, doesn't the language pack included? I mean I can select a Chinese input (via keyboard under regional setting), but I just can't get the filename to be displayed accordingly.

I think I have found a temporary solution from NJS website:

The font does look ugly and not every letter is being decoded correctly. But I can still recognise the file name with 70~80% character decoded correctly.

Just download a copy of Vista online and use it as backup whenever you want to install some extra stuffs. Some of the big retailer like Dell do have a copy of the i386 folder copied onto the hdd wor. Just search and see got or not.

in Vista, u should able to c ur music folder or file name in chinese character.
or u can do following method:
go to control panel > Regional and Language Options
at Administrative Tab, change ur system locale to Chinese (Simplified, PRC)

for example, if playing the music with windows media player, u may encounter that the music name in the list unable to display Chinese character.
try right click on the file, properties.
go to details tab.
u can re-edit the info of the file, then u should able to c the chinese character display correctly in windows media player.

My Vista Ultimate doesn't have problem displaying both Chinese and Korean characters. All files opened without problem unless the particular application doesn't have unicode support...

I have tried that. Those file names would be decoded accordingly but English characters on the folder description became square boxes.
