I don't really want to (nor is it practical for me to) go out and get a Japanese OS, is there any way I can read Japanese characters without doing so? Mostly I need it for IE and Hotmail, but if there's a way to do word processing too, I'd love to know.

Bob's solution is the route you should take first but for future reference you might also take a look at The Universal Word Word Processor http://pchousecalls.net/andromedia/uniword.htm
Years ago I had to have it on Fort Knox for the many foreign student officers and foreign liasons.
Another way to do this might be go to a website that is a Japanese site (www.japan.com) and click on the japanese charactors and it will tell you that you need Japanese language support and to download it.
In My case, my ISP is netzero and the the cd has language support in it.
Ok this works for IE but don't know if it works for hotmail.
