    Hello,

    I have a Vista Home Premium. According to vista, I should see language installation option on the add/remove keyboard language. Well, there is nothing on that page... I heard that I need to install language pack from Microsoft but I can't seem to find the link?

    Help...

    I have Vista Ultimate (though I don't use it, I prefer XP). On my computer I had the option to download extra languages on the "windows update" screen. You can access it from the Control Panel.

    Hope it helps.

    Silas,

    If Dell shipped a language pack with your operating system it's very likely there is some way to install it. I know this is a dumb question, but have you read the documentation that came with your PC? I would start there. If you don't find anything there, call Dell and ask them.

    Best of luck!

    I received many documentations with my notebook, and I read them all, but no mention of the language pack.
