I have the Japanese IME installed, and I can type kana (hiragana/katakana) and select the kanji for display in things I send to others. But, if someone sends me an e-mail / or I see a message/post (here or elsewhere) that included kana/kanji I can not always read. Sometimes it's OK and other times it looks like garbage. Maybe someone can help me with my settings in Explorer so I can consistantly see double byte. I'm using Windows XP XP2, and IE 6.0.29. thanks.
