enabling chinese characters in Windows 7

So, lind asked me how to enable chinese typings in her laptop (windows 7). But because i didn't have a laptop that time and i wasn't so sure how to describe, i just said "go to start, control panel, and u'll find it from there.".

So sorry for the vague instructions, i'll give u a clear one now. With images summore! :)

Well, first is to go to Start, and Control Panel (as i've told u :P ).

Then, select Clock, Language, and Region.


U'll see this, and then select Region and Languages (circled in red)

Go to Keyboard and Languages, then u'll see the above window. click Change keyboard (circled in red), and then u'll see the window below :
on the left one, u click Add, and u'll get the smaller window on the right.
From the window on the right side of the images, choose Chinese Simplified PRC.
Under that, u'll see :
in the red box is supposed to be what u should be ticking, if u want to enable Chinese pin yin .
