Alright, I'm hoping someone can help me out with this seeing as I've looked
near everywhere and haven't found a solution...

I'm running Windows XP Home Edition and am trying to install East Asian
language files on my computer. The problem is that once I reach the point of
selecting "Install files for East Asian languages" in "Regional and Language
Options" and hitting "Apply/OK" I get a dialog box that asks for the Windows
XP Home Edition CD-ROM which I don't have because it was already installed
when I bought the computer from the retailer....all I have is a sticker which
I believe is my certificate of authenticity...So, what am I supposed to do??

Thanks in advance for any help

If you click OK when prompted for the CD, can you then browse to the
C:\Windows\i386 folder? If so, the needed files may be there.

No , I can't browse to it and I tried just typing the location
"C:\Windows\i386" but that didn't get me anywhere either....

It looks like you'll need to buy or borrow a Windows XP Home Edition CD.
