 |
|
| In the past when I didn't have Korean on a computer I could just go to a Korean site like Daum and it would automatically prompt and ask if i wanted it, and I install it... but now, it says it needs a file on my D drive, it doesn't have it, I try to search for it on the Internet, i can't find it... i can't read my Korean email, this is driving me nuts. any ideas? |

Sometimes when you install new features to Windows, it wants to read files from the original Windows setup CD, or a folder that contains the setup files on the hard drive. This is a problem if the CD or the files aren't there anymore. Hard to tell without being there, but I'm guessing that's what's happening. Is this a Chinese language Windows machine?
Here's the thread about installing Korean onto non-Korean Windows computers, just as a "by the way"...

My guess is that you will definitely need the CD. I downloaded the IME that demophobe linked to and I needed a windows CD. The good news is that you pretty much just need ANY windows CD. I have Windows XP, and I didn't have the CD, so I stuck in a Windows 2000 Server CD and it had most of the files. If you do this with a CD that doesn't match your actual OSh, chances are that there will be at least a couple of files that your CD won't have. Don't worry about it, click "skip this file" and keep going.
For what it's worth, there were about 15 files that it couldn't find, but my computer is fine. I can read Korean and write Korean with no problems (except the fact that my Korean blows). |
