I have gone through the whole Control Panel to Change Regional Settings and now have a little EN or TH box in the bottom right corner of my screen. I am running a legit copy of Windows XP SP2 from North America. I have read the excellent pinned threads in the Thai Language section and I have downloaded MS fonts, but...

PROBLEM IS

(1) when I surf some Thai sites it just comes up looking like my keyboard took a crap on the screen: "AiX^+eIoX" or something like that.

(2) Also, when I load MP3 Thai music I borrowed from a friend, it initially comes up fine for a brief second but then changes to unreadable crap once the computer reads it.

(3) I also bought a Thai Dictionary that has an interface that is in the same illegable crap. (It says I need XP Thai Support--is that what I've got?)

What can I do to fix this problem? Am I missing some holy grail of Thai fonts? And how do I load Thai fonts off of other sites?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I'm pretty sure you post your message in the wrong area, asking MS Windows questions from Linux users will not work.

Linux is a complete other operating system

Shows you how much I know. lol

Moved to general computer section.

If you are having problems with Web pages displaying Thai fonts at the top of your browser click View / Encoding.

I have mine set to “Auto select” though sometimes if some of the Thai pages display garbage I also select “Thai Windows” and that usually sorts it out.

If you have not already done so you could also try Control Panel / Regional and Language Options / Languages / Check the box “Install files for complex script and left to right languages (including Thai)

As for your MP3 – I have no idea.

Good Luck
