We then used the MS utility to change the product key (MSDN) so it was unique as per the agreements etc . . thru a course I did in IT . I didn't download the MSDN Windows XP ISO file so I don't have the CD just the product key . I thought any XP CD was fine so maybe not . . . It works fine etc . . but when I go to control panel and regional languages etc . . and download some other language support it ask for a CD . I pop in my original CD that's didn't work - prob it was looking for a MSDN CD and b/c I don't have that I cannot install the languages . So is there any workaround on this situation?	Nomad (952)

One possible solution is mentioned HERE (answers.microsoft.com), Similar problem to what you wrote. look at the first part of the answer, aim the location to i386 folder (Highlighted) :2cents:	wainuitech (129)
