Hi,
I have Windows XP Professioal on my Dell Laptop as pre-installed. It
only supports English. So I go to "Control Panel" -> "Reginal and
Language Options" -> "Languages" tab, I check "Install files for east
asian languages", there is a pop up saying it requires 230MB space and
it will be installed once I click OK or Apply button. I click off it.

The problem is whatever I click "ok" or "apply", there is nothing
happened. I notice that, once I click either button, the check on the
"install files for east asian languages" checkbox is cleared right
away!

I am sure my hard disk has good enough space.

Do you know what is going wrong?

Thanks a lot.

You still require an installation CD with the "east asian languages" on it.
One XP install CD could not possibly hold all the language possibilities.

HTH,
