Hello all,

When I tried to browse webpages that display Chinese, I
got the "Instal on Demand (Internet Explorer)" for
Chinese Text Display Support box. When I clicked on the
DOWNLOAD button on this box, another message came up: "The
component can't be downloaded at this time. Please try
again later or choose 'Window Update' under Internet
Explorer 'Tools' menu to install this component. When I
choose the latter action, I was transported to
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp. But
all options on the left of this page was disabled. I
couldn't do anything.
Also, i can see the Chinese Text Display option in the
Encoding under View menu in my browser.

I didn't have this problem before. I was able to view
Chinese webpages with no problem after instal Chinese text
display support the first time. In fact I still able to
view Thai and Japanese websites that display their native
languages correctly. The browser suddenly stopped working
one day. I blame it on my son (as all parents do when
something is broken in the house. But i'm pretty sure he's
guilty. He had that very guilty look when i asked him
about it).

In any case, what did he do (Like all kids, he totally
denied it!)? and more importantly, how can i fix it (i
already forgave my son)???

Cheers,

Francis
 
Francis:

I too have son's who mess up computers; however, they have their own
systems, so they mess them up and not mine.

Anyway, I'm not sure how to fix your problem.

Are you familiar with how there is a temporary internet location for when
you download the IE6 setup program? Located there is an ie6setup.exe file.

Maybe a full reinstall will help. I'm not sure, but it's the only thing I
can think of to try. My best guess is a registry location, somewhere, is
messed up and you're not able to install Chinese because it's broken
somehow.

Run this from that folder with ie6setup.exe in it exactly as I show,
including all quotes:

ie6setup.exe /C:"ie6wzd /S:""#e"" /N:V /V:I"

That may help.
