2. Select Regional and Language Options
3. select Languages tab
4. And check the options “Install files for complex script and right-to-left (Including Thai)” and click Apply.
5. Insert the Windows CD Installer and locate the correct path requested.
6. Follow the next step until the computer ask for restart, so restart.

If the above step still doesn’t work, maybe you have to install Universal Font. For Microsoft Office user, you can add Universal Font from the Installation CD. Follow this step :

1. Open Control Panel
2. Select Add or Remove Programs
3. Select Microsoft Office and click Change
4. Select Add of Remove Features click Next
5. In the next step, check the “Choose Advanced Customization of Applications” and click Next
6. From the tree view, Select: Office Shared Features > International Support > Universal Font (click/select and choose Run from my Computer from the drop down menu)
