Within Chinese support, there are different "encodings" of the
characters -- just as some "encodings" let you see accented letters in
email and others don't. The sender and receiver have to have their
systems set to the same "encoding." These days, Unicode is becoming
the world-wide standard, but older CJK systems (perhaps especially
ones from Hong Kong) may still use older encodings. Somewhere in your
downloading setup there's a place to specify the encoding used in any
particular message (but that's not a Word matter).

But then why do the subtitle files correctly display the Chinese characters
when opened in Notepad on a Windows XP computer that has Chinese as the
default system language (as is the case with my friend), but not display on
my computer even tho I have enabled support for Chinese in Regional and
Language Options?

Before Unicode, there were competing encodings of CJK, and maybe the
source of your subtitles is using one of those.-
