On a portable computer that is running an Italian version of Windows Vista, you configure the Power Options settings in Control Panel. However, the Alimentazione da rete elettrica (minuti) box is not completely visible. Therefore, you cannot configure the number of minutes that the computer should wait before it sleeps while the computer is plugged in.

You are playing the Mahjong Titans game on a Windows Vista-based computer that uses the Romanian language pack. After you win a game or lose a game, a statistics page appears, and the “Games played” and “Games won” information is displayed. However, the “Win percentage” information is not displayed.

Note: If the display language is set to English, the “Win percentage” information is displayed on the statistics page.

You have a computer that is running a non-English version of Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista. A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) application uses the IP Helper API to collect Management Information Base (MIB) interface information. However, the information is not displayed correctly. Instead, the information is blank or incomplete.

Language Interface Pack: Packages that allow users of Microsoft products to view features in their native language, and to switch between the LIP language and UI and the full language UI installed on the user’s computer.

Before you install certain language interface packs (LIPs) for Windows Vista and for the 2007 Microsoft Office system, you must first preinstall a new font update. The LIPs that require the preinstallation of this new font update are as follows:

• Georgian
• Malayalam
• Kannada
• Punjabi
• Telugu
• Armenian

Please be aware that the following SKUs are affected. Therefore, you must preinstall the font update before you install the previously-mentioned LIPs for the following SKUs.

The affected Vista SKUs are as follows:

• Windows Vista Starter
• Windows Vista Home Basic
• Windows Vista Home Premium
• Windows Vista Ultimate
• Windows Vista Business
• Windows Vista Enterprise

The affected 2007 Microsoft Office system SKUs are as follows:

• Microsoft Office Personal 2007
• Microsoft Office Standard 2007
• Microsoft Office Professional 2007
• Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007
• Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007
• Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007

Consider the following scenario:

• You have a computer that is running a Japanese version of Windows Server 2008 or of Windows Vista. Or, you have the Japanese language pack installed on a computer that is running an English version of Windows Server 2008 or of Windows Vista.
• On this computer, you use the Group Policy Management Editor to edit a Group Policy object.

In this scenario, the following Group Policy setting is localized incorrectly:

User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection\Documents

Specifically, “Documents” is localized as “?????????.” This localized phrase means “Recently used files.”

Consider the following scenario:

• You use a Windows Vista product image that includes a ZH-HK or ZH-TW (Chinese Traditional) language pack to deploy Windows Vista.
• Or, you run the Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) Wizard to redeploy Windows Vista after you have installed a version of Windows Vista.

In this scenario, the English version of the Microsoft Software License Terms appears in the OOBE Wizard. You expect to see the Chinese Traditional version of the license terms.

Consider the following scenario:

• You are running a Windows Vista-based computer.
• You use Windows Desktop Search (WDS) or Instant Search to perform a search on some traditional Chinese characters.

In this scenario, documents that are known to contain the traditional Chinese characters are not returned in the search results.

For example, when you perform a search by using a person’s full name in WDS or in Instant Search, documents that contain the name are returned in the search results. However, when you perform a search by using the person’s first name, no documents are returned.

Consider the following scenario:

• You are running a Windows Vista-based computer that includes Windows Media Center.
• You connect the computer to a secure wireless network.
• You install a non-English-language Input Method Editor (IME), and then you set this as the default IME.

When you start Windows Media Center and then try to join the secure wireless network, you are prompted to enter your Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key. However, when you use either the keyboard or the remote control to enter any numeric character in the WEP box, the default IME setting is triggered. Therefore, you cannot continue entering the WEP, and you cannot connect to the secure wireless network.
