    Windows 7 driver help!

    Now before you reel in amazement or horror , this question is on a behalf of a friend who is using windows seven

    He wants to use a japanese Video card and but the ENGLISH version of windows os wont let him install the Japanese driver for his japanese video card needed because the coaxial cable here is of a differing size to Australian coaxial

    Is the driver language dependent? how can he install the driver ?

    Kind regards

    Stephen

    Which version of 7 does he have? Ultimate is supposed to be able to change language on the fly, but not the lower versions.

    Otherwise, what's the specific error?

    the warning it gives is ,,,,,,changing the region doesn't work , comes back with; current language is not supported by the device driver , contact the vendor

    am emailing now , I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't ultimate , he always go top shelf

    ( resisting any quips about Linux ,,,trying my best honestly !)

    thanks though for the help

    I feel soooo used... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9848772

    edit: as Scouse says, if he has Ultimate, he may need to use Windows update, to gain extra language packs (there is a little over 30 of them from memory). If he has ultimate, under the optional updates will be the language packs. Then follow this: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...splay-language

    HAHAHAHAHAHA Honestly big thank you X2!!! I thought I would throw it to the wider audience , ( didnt want to mension here that I use Linux ,,, and feel dirty and grubby when using windows !)

    ill flick it over and see , ,,, I would of thought the driver was language independent ! ?

    Still lets hope the Kama goes full circle and you both have a good outing on the bikes next time )

    He could always try the chipset drivers rather than the card makers drivers. EG ATI or Nvidia.

    As an example, my card is made by Gigabyte and they do drivers for their card... Which are crap. The card uses a Nvida chipset so I use the Nvidia drivers. If his card manufacturer has not released a version of the drivers to work in the language he wants then the chipset makers may have.

    I may be wrong here, but I "think" you still need to have the basic vga driver installed for that card before you can go ahead and install the chipset drivers (nvdia or ATI etc)

    The standard nVidia/ATI drivers should do the trick.
