/jp/, I'm having a problem getting Japanese text and such installed on my new laptop. Windows 7 Home Premium.
I can read it, but I can't type it or in programs it's just garbled gibberish.
Been trying to follow the help window's help instructions, but they only help versions that I don't have, and the discs that I have are only for reinstalling or upgrading, not just installing a language.
Oh and applocale doesn't work, saying I'm missing something, but it doesn't tell me what.

Any help would be appreciated

You shouldn't need a disc. Just set your locale to Japan and add Japanese under change keyboards in the Region and Language settings.

Looked through it one more time and found what I needed.
Locale wasn't easy to see.
