That will be a problem but can be fixed. Last night my friend in Dubai has the same problem. She bought a Dell laptop with Win 7 Home Premium installed. The OS is in English but she needs to run Chinese programs. She told me that all Chinese programs she installed were in a mess. She couldn't figure out what she installed because they were shown in unrecognizable codes. The files that has Chinese names have the same problem.

Here is a solution. Open IE and click Security menu and choose "windows update". Then follow the instructions to update your OS. There should be some language patches. Just open your eyes and find Chinese language patch and install it in your OS. The last thing is go to Windows Control Panel and find Regional and Language Options to change English to Chinese. If you succeed, her laptop will show Chinese programs correctly. If you are still not clear about this, please read Help info on MS website: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-the-display-language

Once I installed Windows XP (English Version) for my previous Thinkpad X200 and I successfully run the Chinese programs in this way. However, there might be some Chinese programs that can't not be recognized by your laptop. If you really want to install and use it, you have to change your OS to a Chinese version. This is the worst situation. Generally speaking, the Chinese programs will work smoothly on your laptop (with English OS) if you change the display language.[/quote]
