Where to download asian language package for XP SP3?

Locked

My computer can’t display chinese characters. When i went to language settings and installed east asian language, it required me to use the Windows SP3 CD. but i don’t have the cd. i thought to download the language files on internet, but i can’t find it. Does anyone know where to download it? or is there another way to display chinese characters on my system without CD? Thanks for the help.

Which I did, you can order the SP3 CD from Microsoft (cost me 5-6 US$). It arrived, like, 4-5 days later.

I’d send it to you, gratis, but I’m keeping it just in case my W7 goes south.

It’ll do it automatically.

Or you’ll find it directly from this site:

Once SP3 is installed, you change your language settings and let your system download the language pack from M$.
