I have an exchange student staying with me from china- i run a virus check on
his machine before putting it on my home network it was full of virus`sand trojans- some of which i cant get rid off- my main trouble is his machine runs in chinese and as i dont understand chineses my only way of working is to run my laptop next to his and guess if im using thr correct comands, in any case- how can i make his machine run in english short of reformatting and loading a new copy of xp on it- i have tried changing the regional setting but this does not seem to help |

You can't. Only the english version can morph language. And only large =
companies can buy the files to do so. --=20 ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.uscricket.com "Ellis10" wrote in message = ...

There is something that might help, at least in theory (understand I =
speak only Australian). Export this key from your registry and merge it in his. If bad things = happen just delete the key. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell NoRoam\MUICache This is a cache of the language read from the files. But with chinese = who knows what will happen - it would work for western languages to some = degree. --=20 ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.uscricket.com "David Candy" . wrote in message = ...

A 'work around' to the language issue.
If you have 2 machines, able to be connected by ethernet cable, do s and 'network' them. Once networked ensure that the chinese langauge machine is set to allow SHARING of the entire hard drive. On your machine right click on the C Drive of the chinese machine, choose MAP NETWORKED DRIVE, assign it drive letter S, for argument sake. Once 'mapped' you can open up the AV application on your machne and then scan 'your' S Drive for viruses.
