Thunderpants 0 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I don't know if this will work for you. You need to go to windows update, which will redirect you based on the Ip number you have, since you have a jp ip, it will take you to japanese update, however if you follow this link http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us you will get an english page. i can't verify if it will work, since i am using a slightly "incompatible" version of windows Alternative: spend 50$ on some really nice and simple editing software http://www.puremotion.com Link to post Share on other sites

Thunderpants 0 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Hmm, sorry it didn't work for you. I just checked http://isohunt.com/ there is a language pack for movie maker out there, maybe you could try that one. Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderpants 0 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Look what i found at microsoft.com, read the whole thing and i think your problem wil be solved. language change is in Control Panel... Quote: How do I change my language settings? On the Windows Update Web site, click Change settings. Select the language that you want to use to view Windows Update, and then click Apply changes now. When you are asked to confirm the change, do one of the following: To change your language settings immediately, click OK. (You will need to review and select updates again.) To use the new language after installing any updates that you’ve selected, click Cancel. (The next time you visit Windows Update, your new language setting will be applied.) Why does Windows Update recommend a language for me to use? It matches the default language setting for your computer. If you use it, you can view the Web site using the same language as the titles and details of any updates that apply to your computer. Can I get updates in multiple languages? Yes. Windows Update automatically detects language settings for each program on your computer. If you use multiple languages, you will be offered updates for each program in the appropriate language.

nzlegend 1 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 You are using a Japanese OS on your computer right? its a pain in the ass mate, I updated adobe pdf reader and it automatically changed the interface to Japanese! updates are tricky sometimes with a Japanese OS. You could try finding someone in the area with an English OS and downloading the update from their computer and saving it to a usb flash drive. Link to post Share on other sites

me jane 0 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Bit late I know but for future windows updates look in the address bar. Usually somewhere in the bar it says la=ja. Changing the ja to en usually works for me. Link to post Share on other sites
