Can anyone tell me which zipped file, on the XP Pro CD that comes preinstalled, is the one that has all of the bundled software?
I have two XP Pros on my M1210, one Turkish, the other English. All non windows programs show in the Turkish edition (came with the machine), but not in the English which I added. I noticed that I needed to install my printer program into both language editions and so assume I must do the same for the bundled software.

Bundled software is not in a special zip file of the XP CD. They are preinstalled by DELL and I think restoring from the recovery partition is the only way to have a fresh copy of Windows with bundled software. Most of the people (including myself) want to get rid of all the bundled bloatware to make things run faster; believe me you are better off without them.
I don't quite understand what you mean by this. If you want to install a printer driver for both English and Turkish XP installations then just install it for each OS; I don't think there will be a language problem for a simple printer driver (what I mean is that the English driver will work with Turkish installation). However I don't see what that has to do with bundled software. you install the printer on the OS; afterwards each program installed on the OS has access to the printer driver. -
I just meant this an example of how I might be able to add the Turkish XP programs onto English, but only if I have the programs that came with the machine. But if as you say they are already preloaded I doubt I will.
I do see the same program folders when booting in either OS, but I have no idea if I can install them when in English. There doesn't appear to be an install icon to do this.
It's a bit annoying really as I though that loading English XP as well as the preinstalled Turkish would only replace the OS, not the other programs.
Bundled Files for M1210 XPPro?
