Htmlarea trouble aka. iwantmywysiwig

Just installed the 6.3 release, everything looks fine and dandy but I can't seem to get the Htmlarea working as my editor for content etc....
I:
- switched "use Wysiwig" to true/false and back again
- made sure *.cgi would execute and file/dir-permissions are set as specified by Htmlarea docs
Could it be that I have to add something to a php file (¿config.php or header.php?) to make HTMLArea work as the editor?
if anybody could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it

[edit: added ps about the Chinese]
ps. in "/admin" it looks as if language is set to "simplified chinese", but everything is in english as it should be (¿missing SELECTED?)

What web browser are you using, and what version is it?

on windows:
Windows IE 5.5
Windows IE 6.0
a separate install of the latest HTMLArea-3.0-rc1 works fine for the windows browsesr, which leads me to believe that I just have to hook it up to cmsmadesimple somehow ...

ps.
on mac
Safari (tested separately installed HTMLArea, not working at all)
grep -r htmlarea *|grep -v "^htmlarea\/"

IGNORE THIS NONSENSE
if I grep for htmlarea (excluding the /htmlarea/ dir) I get :
admin/editcontent.php: $htmlarea_flag = true;
admin/moduleinterface.php: $htmlarea_flag = "true";
admin/moduleinterface.php: $htmlarea_replaceall = true;
admin/addcontent.php: $htmlarea_flag = true;
, which all looks very "true" to me
, and also more lines in header.php :
admin/header.php: _editor_url = "/htmlarea/";
Is this leading underscore normal here, or is it perhaps used to disable htmlarea
admin/header.php: /htmlarea/htmlarea.js">
to me this looks like the line that adds the htmlarea-editor to a page
the other lines matched contain if()'s with the $htmlarea* variables

i dont think you really need to install anything to get this to function.
i had a problem of two immediately after installation and so i re-installed the DB schema of the CMS and it worked fine.
ya try that?
