I want to look at articles in chinese, with chinese characters, but when I go to multilingual news sites and click on chinese articles, the characters won't show up, just little boxes. I checked my internet explorer properties, and Chinese (PRC) is one of the languages I have selected already, so I don't know what else to do from here.

If it looks like funny little characters like the upside down question marks and accented letters, then you just need to encode it.
On the internet explorer just go to "View" on the File Edit View bar on the top of the window, scroll to encoding and click on the proper language you want it to be coded to.
Sometimes you might need to go to more to see the full list, and depending on which Chinese you're looking at, (traditional or simplified) you may need to click on both to see which one is right. Sometimes you might even need to pick the "unicode" one that reads all the languages.
It's all good, I used to have to do that too.

Assuming all software that has to be installed is installed.
I can made such assumption because figuring out and prompt to install the language packs are now automatic to do, but with multilingual sites you have to manually set your encoding to the right one, I believe there are few ones to choose from although in an UNICODE age your best bet is UTF-8.

Try viewing the sites with Mozilla Firefox. It gives you the option of translating the pages or not. It will just show the site in its own language unless told otherwise, leaving it Chinese and with no weird boxes

You should lower your browser's security measures if your a windows platform.Sometimes your browser automatically filters out anything suspicious or replaces them. Other than that most of the time it has to do with your original systems codes. You can download multilingual codes for free.

straightforward, you purely would desire to re-set up the language packs. you may replace from the laptop internet site/ the browsers domicile internet site. if your uncertain approximately any of this, get it serviced.
