hi guys,


need some help over here...

what do i need to do when i want to install east asian language pack and I don't have any windows xp cd with me?

urgent...
thanks

Actually, u only need the i386 folder in the win XP disc. Try to get the folder.
The other alternative are njstar, chinese star.They are not free.
I cant think of any freeware.

is it possible for me to download the folder?
as my frens do not have the cd with them as well...

if you have the original windowxp then you can download the east asian language pack through window website.

tried to look for it in microsoft website.. can't get it done..
blame it to my IT-absent mind....

get so tension, when i can only saw those squares and lines when i'm browsing through chinese website

If i'm not mistaken you can try to locate the i386 folder in your C:\ and install it from there. Some manufacturers leave the folders in C:\ for situations like this.

just tried....
went to C:\> WINDOWS> driver cache> i386 folder... then cannot... cannot loacet any file named after xjis....

Google pinyin :

Unfortunately you might almost certainly need the Windows XP CD, and since anything that has got to do with piracy and/or unauthorised distribution of copyrighted material(s) is deeply frowned upon, I'm afraid your only recourse is to get a Windows XP CD.

Third party software like Chinese Star, NJStar would also fix the 'those squares and lines' but it's not free.

The following links are excellent resources for Chinese word processing in Windows. No CD required.

Hope it helps.

yes bro i think your only resource is getting a windows xp cd to get to install your language pack...try to borrow from any or your friends

theres 2 way...
1) from Windows XP CD - no matter SP, SP1 or SP3 (the easiest way)
2) download the language file from microsoft website (unless if you have genuine Microsoft office[not your Windows...weird right?].. not pirate one....)

so, better borrow from your friends..
because i already install it.. ^^
to type in japanese..you should give a try dude

sorry for replying in an old thread... but im having problems... i installed east asian language pack wif the xp cd... msn, internet explorer displays chinese with no problem... but other software like google chrome, itunes etc. can't display chinese it shows boxes... i tried to change the language for non-unicode programs to chinese prc but an error came up saying
"Setup was unable to install the chosen locale. Please contact your system adminstrator." but im already logged in as an adminstrator... i also tried this in safe-mode but still no difference... Anyone got a solution for me? >< thx in advance

Buy the Chinese Star.. last time I checked the Chinese Star 2006 costs RM120

hope this solve ur issue...

installed everything u guys posted here...
none of the methods work...

i still see boxes black and white...

is this reply consider as "pirate talk"?

y bother an old reply...

nobody can help here?

I suggest,
1.
overwrite standard set up computer's c:\windows\inf\intl.inf
to your problematic c:\windows\inf\intl.inf

2.
copy standard set up computer's c:\windows\font\*.*
(about 230MB)
to your problematic c:\windows\font\

* this is not simple copy, but font install process(alert windows will appear)

3.
apply locale u want
..
in my case..no erred, good luck

once installed the east Asian language pack... when install software.. if the software have a mandarin/Chinese version..

it will straight install the Chinese version one...

anyone encounter this also?
