| | | Vista and Languages
When I got Windows Vista, my mother installed it in Chinese. Tries to reinstall it have failed. I know there is a tool in Windows called lpksetup.exe that will help install additional languages. I searched online for the syntax for using this tool and have not figured out how to use it. I cannot read Chinese but my mother can. I found a folder on my computer at the path "C:\Windows\System32\en-US". It contains many MUI files I know can be installed to make my computer display in English. Additionally, I want to install the MUI files at the folders "C:\Windows\System32\en-UK" and "C:\Windows\System32\es-ES", which I believe are English-United Kingdom and Spanish-Spain. After installing these languages, I want to be able to choose between them from a drop-down list to find which ones to display.
In an unrelated question, how do you turn on the Aero function of Vista? I have the Ultimate version installed.
Additional info:
There are two hard drives: a Samsung 80GB and a Seagate 400GB with 800.10 PMR technology. On the first HDD there is the OEM preinstalled Windows XP Home Edition. On the second one I have partitions for the swap files for Win XP Home, Win XP Pro, and Vista. I also have three more partitions a partition for Windows XP Pro, a partition for Vista, and a partition to hold files to share files between them all

| Considering that Vista has only been released to business volume license customers I can only asusme that you have a pirated copy. I suggest that no one here offer any support to you. | |

Pay to call ScottGem for advice ($.75/min) | I won't assume that its a pirated version. You could have a Beta copy. If you do, then your questions should be addressed in the Beta support forums for Vista at Microsoft.com.
If it is a pirated copy, then remove it until you can get a legal one. In either case, it will expire at the beginning of March. | |

| Pirated copy, yeah right. It's the beta version. But in Chinese. If I were to get a pirate copy, why would I be so stupid as to download it in Chinese? Anyways, no one knows how to manipulate MUI files? | |

| I apologize jabagawee, I was quick to jump there. I would imagine that the downloaded betas do not contain all the language packs other than the version you selected. Redownload the OS in the language you prefer. | |
