I recently purchased hp compaq cmt d530 with Windows XP pro sr 1, i installed Office 97 on it and want to run a Urdu word processor called "Urdu PageComposer Pro" and it compatible up NT4. I installed fine, but when run it it did not type in Urdu. I used all methods but nothing works. Your help highly appreciated.

Since NT4 is quite a bit older than XP sp1 there is a good chance the software may not work. Have you checked for updates/patches to your software? Have you run the software on an older O/S, like Windows 98?

Urdu Page OCmposer pro is only compatible with "Works in English Windows 95/98 & NT"

This would omit XP.

YOu also may want to upgrade to Page Composer 3 which is the same thing but a little newer, though it is also said to only support Win9X and NT.

I found a page on setting up the phonetic Urdu keyboard onWin2K and XP, you may get somehelp on this site.
