Where to get language packs?

[Joawro]

Title says it all. I tried windows update but no luck. When I see chinese characters they are all blank. When I search on google it gives me links to other websites that I don't trust.

It sounds like you have accidentally chosen to never install any language packs. Why don't you trust these Google sites? Do they show as unsafe to enter? Try this:

What version of XP are you running? XP Home or XP Pro? Obtain any CD of your model and go here:

Control Panel - Regional and Language Options - Languages Tab

Tick the 2 checkboxes and when you hit "Apply" you will be prompted to load the CD.

It might be time to buy a leagle copy of XP Pro for reasons like this... Hopefully not off of EBay
