I just received a cool CD from Jordan.  This pc that I am using cannot "read"/display Arabic, all I get is just ????? ????? instead of the Arabic.

Can someone take me through how to go about Arabic-enabling this computer?  Step by step please, me dunno too much about zese tings called computers ::) ;)

JazakumAllahu khairun

If you are using Windows XP/2000, then its easy your fonts were not set. Try these instructions and see if it helps.

Sounds good masha Allah but I wouldn't recommend downloading anything from the 1st website. I've never heard of needing additional language packs for Windows 2K or XP.

9x (e.g 95/98) yes but 2000&XP come with those character sets built in.
