Gon Method for Windows XP Step 1

You may need Windows XP's CD.
Please prepare it.

Whether you have Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional, Gon Method for Windows XP is same. Of course, you can do it on both XP.

	Click Control Panel in Start Menu.
	In Pick a category window, Click Date, Time, Language and Regional Options icon.
	In Pick a Control Panel icon section, Click Regional Options icon.
	Regional and Language Options window will appear. Click Languages tab.
	At Supplemental language Support area, you can see Install files for East Asian languages check box. Check this box on then click Apply button.
	Windows XP asks you " Is it OK?" because this operation installs all Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages files. They are 270MB total. Unfortunately you cannot choose "Japanese language files only". East Asian languages are now packed. So click OK button.
	Copy starts. Some PC will ask you to insert Windows XP's CD. Some PC won't ask you. It takes a little bit longer time than you imagine.
	Windows XP asks you to restart PC. Click Yes button.
	After PC restarts, You can read Japanese homepage. Not only Japanese homepage but also Korean and Chinese homepages. I suppose Microsoft cares cultural exchanges and peace in Asian countries very much. Thank you, Bill.

DON'T FORGET TO GO TO STEP2!! IT'S JUST HALF-DONE!!
