"Code page conversion tables" completely empty ???

[Jason]

This problem makes me so frustrated. On my Windows XP (SP2) machine, in
Control Panel -> Region and Language Options -> Advanced, the "Code
page conversion tables" list and "Language for non-Unicode programs"
list are both completely EMPTY!

I searched the web but could find no answers anywhere. Anybody has some
idea?

Same as your MULTIPOST in microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage

*.nls files are language files. All of these files are the languages that
XP supports. I.e. Regional and Language Options in the Control Panel.

c_###.nls files.

The c stands for copepage. And nls stands for National Language Support.

Do you have more than one c_###.nls file, c_437.nls for example, in
%SystemRoot%\System32? I have 186 .nls files.

Does
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
Control\Nls\CodePage
show any c_###.nls files?

Thanks Wes,

1. Yes, I do have c_###.nls files in c:\windows\system32 (74 in total).

2. Yes. Under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage,
I have many string values with code page # as their name and the
c_#.nls as the value.

But none of them get showed in the Regional and Language Options
dialog.

Well, Jason, that blew my theory.
