Update information for Windows XP Service Pack 3 systems


Important If you install this update on a computer that is running Multilingual User Interface (MUI), the user interface changes to English.

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

    Download the update for the language that you want to use by clicking the link earlier in this article.
    Unpack the hotfix to a folder by using the /x command-line option. To do this, type the following command at a command prompt: WindowsXP-KB955704-v3-x86- LanguageCode.exe /x

    Note LanguageCode represents the letters in the file name that indicate the language.
    When you are prompted for a target folder, select the folder, and then click OK.
    In the SP3QFE folder in the target folder, copy the following files to the %systemroot%\System32\Mui\ nnnn folder:
        ulib.dll
        ifsutil.dll
        format.com
        fmifs.dll
        uexfat.dll
        shell32.dll
    Notes
        The SP3QFE folder contains the correct binaries for Service Pack 3 systems. For Service Pack 2 systems use folder SP2QFE as source, instead of SP3QFE.
        nnnn is a code that indicates the language. This code is the same as in the %systemroot%\System32\Mui\ nnnn folder.
    Repeat these steps for any other language that you use on the computer.
