Wants Asian language support on a Windows XP Home Edition, but no CDs

by jean.philippe.lagrange . Updated 17 years, 11 months ago

I have recently bought a PC which came with Windows XP Home Edition pre-installed (actually the French XP Edition Familiale).

I would like to add support for Asian languages, to be able to type in Japanese. However, when I try to configure the system, Windows asks for files it can’t find in the autoinst\winxp\i386 directory (such as c_20290.nls and others), and asks me to insert the XP CD.. I don’t have.

Apparently this option had not been preloaded, so that I am stuck.

Is there any way to add the missing files without purchasing a separate Windows copy????

Thx
