Answer 4

If the operating system (Windows itself) is in Japanese, you have to reformat it. What version of Windows is it running? If it's Win98/2000/XP you have to get an installation CD and start everything from scratch. All the installed programs (like Microsoft Office) will also have to be reinstalled. Usually the installation CDs and drivers come when you buy the laptop. If you don't have the official installation CD with drivers, make sure you make a back up copy of your laptop's drivers before doing a reformat. Sometimes scrounging for drivers of Japanese laptops can be a royal pain.

Doing this will also make your laptop run faster.
