Hi,

I'm unable to run a program and it says I may need to download a hotfix.

The hotfix is: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=135771

However, I am running FRENCH Windows XP. (I bought the computer whilst
living in France.
When I try to run the update, it fails because 'the update is a different
language to the Windows language'

Does anyone know where I can download this update for FRENCH XP ?

Grateful for any help!

Hi AndrewE

Thanks for the reply.

I can get to the French language download page, but the update link is
exactly the same and I get the same error message when trying to install!

It's a mystery
