巧妙为Home版Vista安装多国语言包

只有Ultimate(旗舰版)和Enterprise(企业版)的Windows Vista才支持安装MUI语言包、进行不同语言之间的转换。你的系统是家庭版，所以无法安装MUI语言包。不过你也不用灰心，已经有人想出了办法去掉 Windows Vista Home Basic(家庭普通版)、Home Premium(家庭高级版)、Business(商务版)无法安装MUI语言包的限制，具体方法如下。

关闭Windows Vista的UAC功能。下载去掉无法安装MUI语言包限制的工具Vistalizator，以及MUI语言包。目前Windows Vista有RTM和SP1两种版本。如果你在使用Windows Vista SP1，请下载标注有“SP1”的MUI语言包。在MUI语言包下载完成之后，将Vistalizator的压缩包解压到一个文件夹中，运行 Vistalizator.exe。点击“Add Language”按钮找到你刚刚下载的MUI语言包，Vistalizator将会自动解压MUI语言包。等Vistalizator完成了对MUI语言包的解压，就单击“Install”按钮。此时你将会看到你想安装的语言在Vistalizator的下拉菜单中，选择你想安装的语言，单击 “Change language”按钮然后重新启动电脑即大功告成。

提示：打开“开始”菜单→“控制面板”→“用户账户”→“打开或关闭‘用户账户控制’”，去掉“使用用户账户控制(UAC)帮助保护您的计算机”前面的“√”即可关闭UAC。安装好MUI语言包后，记住要重新打开UAC，以免引起系统问题。
