I began the installation of vista sp2 and received a pop up box instructing me that I had unsupported languages installed. I go to control panel: regional and language options -keyboard and languages-install/uninstall languages remove languages Currently, there are 17 languages (besides my default, English)that need to be uninstalled. I've attempted to uninstall them at once and vista processes each language and says that it fails on all but one language. If I uninstall them individually each language takes the hour and 1/2 to uninstall and I cannot afford to sit with it while it does each one. Can this be done via command line or by script. IF it can, what would the commands be?
I just updated my copy of Vista Ultimate to SP2 (RTM). I noticed that after running Windows Update, the Language Packs that were once there have dissapeared. Is this normal?
Microsoft has released new Language Interface Packs for Windows Vista. The LIPs can be applied to all Vista editions as long as the parent language is supported. These language packs are not Ultimate extras. Some restrictions apply to Vista Starter. Also, new LIPs have been released for the Office 2007 products.
I'm trying to follow the instructions in the WAIK to add a language pack to WINPE (and are failing with an error). I believe this is becuase I'm using the language pack for the operating system not Windows PE so a couple of questions:
1. Is there a specific Language Pack for WindowsPE (2.0)? 2. Where does one get these WINPE specific lanaguage packs from?
I see Windows Sound Schemes, and DreamScene Content Pack 3 now available. Also the Windows Vista Ultimate Language Packs are back after the SP1 upgrade.
I'm going to reinstall Vista 64-bit Home Premium. Should I install both the service packs first, -and then- the security updates and miscellaneous thingies? Or should I install all the security and miscellaneous thingies first, -and then- SP1 and then SP2 after that?
I live in Spain and bought my wife a laptop. She is having trouble with the language and wants to change it to English, I am a bit annoyed at having to buy an English copy of Vista. Especially after watching an MS promotion video of how they are working to cover the need of using multiple languages, why the step back in Vista then ? It is an Acer laptop and also has programs pre-loaded and a backup restore installed etc. If I buy the English vista, do I have to do a clean install to get English Vista on, or just load it as a repair, and will it need re-activating etc ? If it does need a clean install then I will lose everything that has been pre-installed and and will be an expensive experience.
The installer states that I have the wrong language or wrong language packs installed. However, no language packs are installed that I can find, and installation itself is us english, albeitly with swedish regional settings.
When I stated that no language packs are installed, this is because no language packs are listed in the program list. It might have been installed as an update, but that list contains 79 updates with absolutely no details except KB numbers, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna lookup 79 KB articles manually to see if one of them is a language pack.
As language packs were so easily installed (as an option offerered thorugh windows update, and not as stand-alone installation like it was with XP and such, I just can't believe that MS don't support language packs more fluently than this)
I had the 32bit Vista Ultimate installed for a while and I just recently installed the 64bit onto a separate partition. I deleted the 32bit from the OS boot menu in system configuration but it won't let me delete or format the partition where the 32bit install was when I am in Vista. I deleted it using the DVD to boot into the partition area but after I did that my PC wouldn't boot or anything. I got it repaired but I am now back at where I started. Does anyone have any ideas about how to delete the old installation (entire partition) without screwing up the boot?

OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit SP2, US, all installed updates. Before SP2 install, Italian Language Pack used to work fine. To install SP2 I had to uninstall Language Pack. After installed SP2 had to wait for additional language packs. Now they are officially released by Microsoft so I tryed to install them. I installed France, Dutch and Lituanian language packs with NO PROBLEM. Italian language pack refuse to install. Now Event Viewer report this error: The Language Pack for it-IT has been disabled. Reason: 0x2000. Event ID: 1002.
I recently received a response (in this forum) stating that it is possible to download Windows Vista Service Packs 1 and 2 and have them available for use by burning them to a CD. Sound great to me but I really need some detailed help on how to do this. If I should be posting this to another newsgroup, I would like to know which one.
I am presently using Windows Vista Home Premium and am concerned about Microsoft support in the coming months. Should it be necessary in the future for me to do a complete disc recovery will the support be discontinued? In the past, I have been able to do such a recovery using the installation disc that came with my Dell Computer and later I received the Service Packs as an upgrade. If it becomes advantageous to do a complete recovery, will I be out of luck without the Service Packs immediately available?
What was the point of installing it if it messes up your sound? It was working fine before I installed service pack 2 and now I have no sound and your stupid fix program did nothing but waste more of my time. Why did it mess my sound up, and is there anyway to fix this now?
I just reinstalled my Windows Vista Home Premium, and went through the ordeal of updating (almost 100 updates last night). When I click on Windows Update now it says that Vista is up to date. But I don't see any indication that any service packs have been installed. By the way, how many service packs are there for Vista, and do they have to be installed sequentially: that you, you must install SP1 first, then SP2, etc.? how to determine if the service pack(s) has been installed, and 2) how many service packs are there so far.
I recently got high-speed internet and was able to finally take advantage of a lot of Vista updates. However, the update history shows Service Pack 1 updated, Service Pack 2 doesn't show up as to be downloaded. Further, when I click START > Right click COMPUTER, I understood below display of my Vista version that it should display Service Pack installs, but Service Pack 1 isn't displaying there.
I don't want to be perceived as Vista basher. There're severe issues in it comparing to old WinXP - but my and many others reason to blast them publicly is NOT to harm something that's already dead, lyino on the floor & everyone kicking it like a dead horse - "dead horse" here means Vista. It's the past. The future is Windows7 and we're just making sure problems don't get inherited! What's wrong with Vista can't be fixed by Vista ServicePacks, nobody cares anymore, Win7 is the only thing I personally care for. Now here's another feature in Vista I actaully like, it was either missing or I didn't notice in WinXP. I listed several other great features, but here's one more:
I know DOS command prompt by heart, and since I am no longer young it's something that new generation often is unclear about. I can achieve many tasks faster by issuing commands and don't need any help files, I've been doing it since late 80's. Now with Power Shell it's a new level. This is a great continuation of command-driven interface. Also when renaming files in WinExplorer Vista doesn't select .Extension by default - more convenient than WinXP where I was annoyed by constant extesnion retyping. But a few great features still don't offset the fact Vista was a fiasco.
I have recently bought a new computer from acer with vista and it came with a posiblility to upgrade to win7 (http://www.acer.com/windows7upgrade), but i have a slight problem.
I need to specify which language vista is installed inn or it won't work, i figured it would be norwegian (as i am from norway), but allmost all the menus are in english as well as everything in the start menu ("Computer" instead of "Datamaskin" etc...).
I was wondering if there is an easy way to figure out which language the OS is installed in.
I had seen a similar topic at this forum before, but I can't find it. I am looking for a way allowing me to type in Chinese in this keyboard. I looked up the Vista "help" section. I am supposed to download the Language Interface Pack (LIP) first. However, when I went to the MS web site and clicked on the map that said "Asia", Chinese language was NOT on the list. The Whole Asia continent! Go figure ! The method I saw before in this forum was very different than the "help" section.
I added Korean as other input language on Vista home premium system. I do see korean language bar appeared on my screen, but it won't just let me type in korean.
I am english but live in spain just bought a new laptop with vista basic and its all in spanish. unfortunatly my spanish is not that good is there anyway of changing it into english.
I have Vista ultimate right? I go to Microsoft site cause I want the Korean IME since I am korean. But, the language pack says that its not compatible. Yes I have tried SP2 compatibility mode.
After Vista and Office installation and update, I tried to EASY TRANSFER from my old laptop all data. It was not able to make the transfer because the old laptop (hp Presario) was running in other language (English XP)
There was no WARNING that once one language is selected it can not go back and select the other. There was no WARNING that to make the EASY TRANSFER Vista and XP must run in the same language. EASY TRANSFER is essential for my job (emails, addresses, favourites w passwords and many others) Please give me a solution. Otherwise I can not use it for the reason I have bought it.
