Unable to install East-Asian Language Packs on Windows XP Home

T

Terry

First of all, to the person who rudely accused me of "hijacking" someone
else's thread...all other forums I've been to will yell at you if you start a
new post about a topic that's already discussed. How am I supposed to know
that this place is different, especially when you have a
prominently-displayed search function??? I would assume that is what it is
for.

Then, the person who answered so obviously did not read what I posted. Here
is the thread starting with his/her suggestion to another person with the
same problem:

In Microsoft Windows XP:
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options.
3. Click Add other languages, and then click the Languages tab.
4. In the Text services and input languages section, click Details.
5. If the language that you want to use is not listed or if the language
that you want is listed but the keyboard is not listed under it, click Add in
the Installed Services section.
6. In the Input Language list, select the language that you want to use.
This automatically fills in the Keyboard layout/IME field for you.
7. Click OK.
The selected language and installed keyboard should be listed in the Installed Services section.
8. Click OK to close the Text Services and Input Languages dialog box.
9. Click OK to close the Regional and Language Options dialog box.

As for your question, try clicking on Start | Control
Panel | Regional and Language Options | Languages tab | check the
"Install files for East Asian languages" box | OK. I did not
need my Windows XP CD to do this (ymmv). Then try step #5 again.

Again, it asks me for the installation disk...I do not have one, so I cannot
go any further.

Also, I have no idea what "ymmv" means...that was not helpful at all.
