nathanson1947 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I purchased a computer tower last summer for $100.00. With a 2.66 Celeron processor, 512 MB RAM, and a 40 GB hard drive, it seemed like a good deal. While I have no trouble seeing anything printed in English or Hebrew, Chinese characters usually come out as gibberish. . When I tried to use the regional language settings in the control panel, I kept getting prompted for a Windows XP Home Edition CD, which I of course don't have, since XP was already installed in the computer when I purchased it. I can't seem to find a place on Microsoft to download the needed files, and Microsoft now charges $49.00 for a technical support question.Does anyone here have any solutions???Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen2 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 You'll need the CD or the files at some point in time and if you bought a pc without a legal XP license the only way is to buy one. Or you might change to a free linux distrib or another free OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
