I think somewhere in "Language" settings you have to add "Chinese". Then it will allow you to switch keyboard between English and Chinese.

Language settings under Control Panel.

You need to add Far East Asian Languages support. It will install Chinese Traditional, Chinese Simplified, Korean and Japanese all in one hit. You cannot select just one or two of these languages (without doing some inf editing).

i have done that, i can read chinese, when i tried input chinese in word it doesn't shown up the chinese.
before i have win2k plus richwin2000, i can input chinese in word.

did you add "chinese" to the keyboard setting in "regional & language option" in control panel (after installing the asian font support)? Set "chinese" as default language option. After that, you can just hit "alt" to change between chinese and english.

add "chinese" to the keyboard setting in "regional & language option" in control panel (after installing the asian font support)? yes.my setting
let say i want to input "people" in chinese, so i type in "ren" then enter, the chinese character doesn't shown up, still in english.

No....hit the "Add" button, then select "chinese (there are 5 different version of chinese input system)" as your default input language and keyboard layout/IME. Right now, according to the picture you've posted, you don't have any chinese input function installed.

First of all, install 'East Asia language support'. And then options for Chinese (GB and BIG5) will show up in the 'Input device' list.

The setting pic you posted is not right. Why is it showing 'UK keyboard'? Choose 'Chinese input (RPC)' and 'MS IME 3.0' .....
