amenx Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 How do I prevent XP from installing or prompting me to install languages that I dont understand (as a result of visiting mixed language sites)? Thought I saw this option in Gpedit.msc but looked there and couldnt find it. Not in IE options either. I know I saw it somewhere just cant figure out where. Thanks.

nitroshift Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Next time you see that pop-up, check the box "Never install language packs". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amenx Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 Next time you see that pop-up, check the box "Never install language packs". Problem is, it doesnt seem to work. I always check the "Never install language packs", yet it keeps coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I'd recommend you then to thoroughly scan your pc for viruses / malware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
severach Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 One way is to install them but then you get that pesky Language bar coming up all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeshi Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Sorry!But I don't really the OP's reason for doing so. He browses a website using a lang he doesn't understand but doesn't want IE to install and display the lang. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
