Supporting Asian Language on XP SP2

I know that you're suppose to go to
CP > Regional Language Options > Advanced.
My sister misplaced the floppy that have the XP language thing on it. I can't find it on google. If someone have a copy or know where I can find it, help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Do you want a specific language? Microsoft has some of them up, also check Windows Update.

You can also click "Use Preinstalled font" somewhere, and something like that.......

Be aware, though, it won't support all Asian fonts either way. You'll have to find some of those manually. If it won't, you will see blocks ( [] something like this) on their name.

I've never heard of anybody needing a 'floppy' for XP-whatever.
What exactly is it you want to achieve?

mmm yeah.. you should be able to go to the Windows update page and install the asian language fonts.

Some people do have floppy XP. Those are quite rare, though.

Technically, you don't need it, if you have pre-made PC with everything factory set up and installed. They copied every bit of XP stuff onto Hard Disc, most of which is saved on \i386 folder of \windows (whatever it is called.)

Did you install XP yourself? Or was it pre-installed. Pre-installed versions tend to have all the language installation files on the hard drive. If it's a pre-installed version, just follow the Regional and Language Options => Languages => Install Files for East Asian languages. It should go without an install disc. If it asks for your disc, well...the internet is your friend..torrents are lifesavers...get my drift?

I installed it myself. I didn't want to "find" it becuase it's a 4GB DVD. Thank you.

An XP CD is more like 700MB. But okay ^_^
