Simply put, I'm tired of going to a website and it be all ????? it's rather annoying. So I am here today to ask, does anyone know where to download the Windows XP language packs. Every time I've tried it says insert disc. However, since I bought the PC from a retailer they only give you that crappy recovery disc. Could I get the language packs from there? I would prefer however a website that I can just dl them in one swoop with out having to hun tfor that disc. Thanks in advance!!

Who made the computer? You could call and get a disc from them. They might also have a directory on your install (like C:\windows\i386) which basically has a copy of all the files on a Windows XP disc.
I bought it from ibuypower.com. I could always try to give them a call. As well last night I downloaded a OEM version of XP so I could keep as a backup disc in case i need it down the road. (Haven't burnt it yet) could I pull the language packs out of this?

If it matches your version of the software, yes, you could get the files from it. (But you must wonder if the disc is, shall we say, trustworthy)
Shouldn't be anything wrong with having a back up of something I do own. However, I think I have WinXP SP2 (Build 2600) I'm trying to find this again to confirm. Wonder how I could out from the disc. I am able to open the .iso and see the i386\language but can't open these files. Is there something in particular i need to do?
P.S. I just checked thru my logmein ITreach account and yea, it's build 2600.

No, it's not okay to download "backups" of MS products, and it's not okay to discuss piracy here.
