NEXT LEVEL USB purchase

[AyuRox]

Your computer doesn't have the capabilities to disbplay 2-bit characters. Those generally are characters more complicated than english letters. Things like umlauts, the little circle over the 'a' that I have no idea what its called, and all the other accent markings that I'm not familiar with. But particularly Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and all the other symbol based languages.

When your computer comes across these, it doesn't know how to display it, so it replaces them with something that it can display. Usually random letters, boxes, or question marks.

Older systems usually don't have this capability. I bought my laptop a year and a half ago, so it can display Japanese. The desktop in my house is older, so it doesn't have this capability. I'm actually surprised that you have Vista and you can't display 2-bit characters.

If you install the Japanese Language Pack, you'll be able to display them. idk how to do this though. Its just what the message says on the desktop.

Don't worry though. There's nothing wrong with the USB or anything. When you sync it to your iPod (or music device of your choosing), it shound display the kanji correctly. If it doesn't, and it bothers you that much, simply delete it and replace it with Romaji.
