You also need to have Asian fonts installed in order to veiw the dictionary output, specifically the SimSun font.  If you do not have asian fonts installed, you may be able to install them under "Regional and Language Options" in Windows' control panel.  Chinese or Japanese IME's (Input Method Editors) are not necessary, but may be useful to input Asian text directly.  IME's can also be enabled from the "Regional and Language Options" dialog.
