Tower of Babel
Question : Is there an alternative way to
install the additional language
pack? I need to view simplified
Chinese characters especially when surfing
cari.com. I have already tried installing the
language pack from the Regional and
Language options. It does not work at all.
When it prompts for the Windows XP CD and
after inserting the disc, the screen will
flicker once and then the dialog box will just
disappear. Even after a reboot, the
language pack is still not installed.
Answer : The only alternative way we can
figure out is to source for a localized
version of Windows XP. A customized
Windows XP should work too but this will
require in-depth knowledge of how to
manipulate the files. It is weird why Windows
failed to install the language pack at all. Perhaps
the installation disc is badly scratched? Or
maybe it is due to the optical drive. There are
third party solutions which can recognize
Chinese characters. Try NJ Star Communicator.
