    Larisa,

    I’m not surprised that a reset worked, but resetting doesn’t seem to be a permanent fix to that issue. You might see this happen again–it already happened to me twice with Japanese characters on my computer in less than a week (yes I reset the first time just like you did, but it was only a temporary fix) so I found that fix along with all that background info a few days ago. It’s never happened again since I changed that option. I figured I’d share the info even though this topic is a bit stale, it’s good to know. Probably should’ve mentioned that earlier.

    Oh, and sorry I mispelled your name.

    Larissa,

    Did you try changing your computer’s locale to Japanese? Doing this usually solves all those kinds of problems (Although occasionally \ (backslash) characters may occasionally come up as ¥ symbols after doing this due to the relationship between ASCII latin character encoding and JIS/Shift JIS Japanese character encoding, that’s the only real side effect of doing this, your system will otherwise remain in English). In windows 7, to do this, you…

    Click the start button (Windows Flag on bottom left of taskbar)>Control Panel

    For Category view:
    Click Clock, Language, and Region>Region & Language
    For Icon view:
    Click Region & Language

    Then from there, in the new dialog, go to the administrative tab, click “Change System Locale”, say yes to the UAC prompt and set it to Japanese (Japan) and restart your computer.
