Windows XP and East Asian language pack
Hi,
I went to Control PanelRegional/Language and tried to install the East Asian language option. I was prompted to search for the file cplexe.exe which is part of the XP Home edition Service Pack 2 CD. I don't have any CD, though I believe that I do have the Service Pack 2 installed (Windows Firewall, etc.) Any suggestions as to how to get around this obstacle? Also, I noticed that in order to participate in this community, it seems I need to use IExplorer in order to post and read messages. When I use Mozilla Firefox, I seem to have a problem making the popup window come up, even though I cut and posted the web address into Pop up allowed sites on Mozilla Options menu. Thanks for your help, Jordan |

Windows XP and East Asian language pack
Hi Jordan,
In order to install a language pack (the east-asian language pack in your case), you need the original Windows XP CD. Your computer should have come with a Windows XP CD. -- Anando Microsoft MVP- Windows Shell/User http://www.microsoft.com/mvp http://www.mvps.org Folder customizations http://newdelhi.sancharnet.in/minku Protect your PC! http://www.microsoft.com/protect "Jordan" wrote in message ...

Windows XP and East Asian language pack
Hi Anando,
Perhaps it should have, but it did not. XP came pre- installed and I am loathe to go back to the retailer where I purchased it as my experience with customer care there so far has not been good. (It's also a humongous hassle to unplug my computer and drive an hour across town). Can't somebody at Microsoft simply email me the files? My OS was recently corrupted, necessitating an OS reformatting and apparently the East Asian language files were not recovered. I"ve just dished out a lot of bucks to deal with this hassle and am hoping to stem the flow of red ink now, but I do need the East Asian language files.

Windows XP and East Asian language pack
Well, to install the east-asian language pack, you need the Windows XP CD. You may have to contact the customer service
centre of the PC retailer to solve this problem. Good luck ! -- Anando Microsoft MVP- Windows Shell/User http://www.microsoft.com/mvp http://www.mvps.org Folder customizations http://newdelhi.sancharnet.in/minku Protect your PC! http://www.microsoft.com/protect "Jordan" wrote in message ...
