    I have an Sony FS series with Windows XP pro SP2 pre-installed. The question is how can I add an another language (like French) by using Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI)??
    Anyone knows?
    Thanks

    1st off, the MUI Pack is not free, you have to pay for it and it's only available through Volume Lincensing programs or through an Enterprise agreement (not available through retail). But regarding the installation method, I did this a while ago at work, but it has been a few years, so I'm a bit foggy on the details. I think you need the MUI pack (French in your case), goto Regional & Languange Options in Control Panel, Advanced Tab and change your language here. It should prompt you for the discs. Or, it is a matter of inserting the CD or run the MUI and just follow the prompts to install the required language.

    Just did a search on MS's site, they have the info there. It says to run the MUIsetup fron the CD's and follow the instructions on the screen.
