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/...e/install.mspx
>, had what he would need, and told him to select "Japanese - with Language
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
