I'm trying to help a friend who just got a new PC with Win XP (English),
but not Office XP. He needs to get the Japanese IME so he can enter
Japanese into the Google search box. I thought that this page,
<http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/recommended/ime/install.mspx
, had what he would need, and told him to select "Japanese - with Language
Click to expand...
Pack" from the drop-down menu, and download it.

He did this, but when he tried to run the program, he was told that it
wouldn't work with his operating system. So what do I advise him now?

Thanks,

Jack Crane
 
Did you even look at the Control Panel in Home? It's there.


| It seems that page is for Win XP Pro. My friend has XP Home.

OK, a little less shorthand here. Is the page you referred me to going to
work for my friend's XP Home? I can't check it out because I have XP Pro.

Thanks,

Jack
