Sometimes, you need to type in languages other than English. Thankfully, there's a way to do this without getting a new operating system. Here's how.

Steps:

1. Go to Start → Control Panel → Regional and Language Options → Add other languages.
2. In the lower box, check the check box next to the words "Install files for East Asian Languages".
3. Hit the "Details" button in the upper box.
4. On the right of the list of languages you have on your computer, click "Add..."
5. Choose your language and hit "OK".
6. Select "Apply" (this is the window with the "Add..." button on it).
7. Select "Apply" (this is the first window that you opened).

Tips:

• During the process, you may need to insert the XP CD so the relevant files can be copied across to your computer.
• A typical Windows XP CD will have a folder on the disk called "i386". This entire folder can be copied to the hard drive and then can be referenced for anything needing the WinXP Disk. When a program asks you for the CD, select the path on the hard drive where you copied this folder to.
