No sound being produced when tying to get the Utau to sing? (newbie to UTAU program sorry ;-;)

[歌手音ピコ]

Everytime I try to get either Defoko or Teto (only two utau's I DL'd) there is no sound produced, how do I fix this?
And, When i click onto the Picture of Teto and click on "sample" no sample is heard. How do I fix this too?




Any help would be great thank you.

Did you set your computer locale to Japanese before installing UTAU?
If you did so, then try to install MSVC2008.

Go to your Control Panel, then click on the Regional Settings option. Then, search for a function that lets you change the locale for non-Unicode programs. Don't forget to change your float symbol to a point by opening a window with a button on the first tab of the Region window, too, otherwise UTAU will hate otos.
Then, re-generate Defoko's voicebank by downloading the latest ZIP version of UTAU and extracting only the uta folder in your voice folder, then running mkdefoko.exe there. As for Teto, you only have to re-extract it.
