I am happy that there is a solution from Microsoft now. When I had the
problem, the only published solution offered by Microsoft (two or
three years ago), was to call to a standard phone number in the USA,
to wait for half an hour to get the adequate response, and to receive
an URL where you could download an "unofficial patch" who worked only
for an English Edition of Windows. Of course, I had a Spanish Edition
of Windows for TabletPC, and because I live 10.000 miles away from
Redmond, the cost of the solution, including the phone call, would
have been prohibitive. Why a supposedly "globalized Company" like
Microsoft failed to implement a multi language patch and to give the
possibility to ask for it by email instead of a phone call, is a
mystery for me.
