Installing East Asian language files

Hi,

I'm having difficulties installing files for East Asian languages. Every

time I select the checkbox for 'Install files for East Asian languages' under

the Languages tab of Regional and Language Options, it prompts me that it

will require 230mb of space etc, and tells me I need to restart my computer

for the changes to take effect. I click okay, and my computer

restarts...there is no prompting for an install disk or for me to point the

OS to the correct language pack files to install.

Essentially, my computer reboots and nothing changes. When I open Regional

and Language Options, the box for East Asian languages is still unchecked.

This happens every time.

I am trying to get Chinese characters to display, but right now, they just

show up as little squares. I am running Windows XP home SP3.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
