One of these days, if I ever spring for a new computer, I just might have to give Linux a try.

As a foreigner, to get a real command of this english software, your computer must be configured in Chinese (simply said - Windows in Chinese). However, there is a nice tool to use English version of QQ and be able to write in Chinese, with an English version of Windows : AppLocale.

Google the word “apploc.msi” and you’ll find explanations in different languages.

The only problem, it doesn’t work (yet) with Vista.

That’s very strange. I’ve had it working home in Canada before. Not sure why it’s not working for you.

I wonder if anyone else has had this problem.
I’m pretty sure I have chinese friends in Australia using QQ.
Maybe try installing again?

Good luck!

I have the same problem! If I used the chinese version, then it said me password it’s wrong. However, when I used the English version, I can’t add my friends in China! I don’t know why…………

I have the same problem. I can’t log in. I could when I was over there, but now that I’m in the USA, I can’t chat with any friends!

If you are installing the Chinese language version then adjust your regional settings. If you want to Chinese characters then turn-on keyboard settings for the language bar. You can find more information in Windows Help.

China has internet Nazis who selectively firewall international transmissions. There isn’t anything you can do about it. The Chinese government is afraid of outside thinking corrupting the minds of the people.

I am from the US and have been working herei in China for 2 years. I have seen many popular sites frozen and later thawed. Google has previously been blocked for cataloging pornography, the British Broadcast Co (BBC) was blocked for unfavorable reports about China, and USA Today is currently blocked.

Cherish free speech, it is not an international standard.

How to use QQ?

Um… I can use QQ perfectly and I live in Australia!

The beta version works great in Vista. Maybe it’s just me, but definitely prefer the newer Chines one compared to the English version as it seems a bit outdated.

Joe: QQ2005 is definately outdated. If you want to use all the features and you can live with a Chinese version go for QQ2008. Otherwise I suggest TM2008. Very clean, lightweight and simple to use:

How do you log in with Adium? What is the server?

yeah, well, it would appear the censor nazis are doing overtime. 2005qq eng is rejected by the server in shenzhen when trying to connect from overseas. however, any chinese version gets the thumbs up from the internet censor blockheads. why you ask? well simple really, hundreds of thousands of overseas chinese students use qq as a cheap and convenient way to keep in touch, and of course stupid 洋鬼子们 supposedly cant read chinese. english versions are blocked because of the recent ‘troubles’. i have no problem using 2005eng in china.
