Thank you for your help. But again unfortunately you told me what I know. As
you can see when you go to the sourse site you gave me, there is no
"Japanese" in the list to select. That's because default didn't install it
from CD but it's still in the CD.
With a PC which doesn't have East Asian Language file installed, you need to
go...
Start/Control Panel/Regional and Language Option/Language - supplemental
language support/check "install files for East Asian languages"/ Click Ok /
Then next screen ask you " insert CD" to pull out the file from the CD.
The problem I have is that I lost my Windows XP Home edition CD!
So I can't pull out the file from CD. I could buy another XP CD, but before
that,
I just wanted to know if I could get the file online or some other way.
Sorry if I'm confusing everyone!!
Thanks,
Yoshi
