Hi there,
Try the following solution for enabling Hebrew support. Click Start
and then Windows Update. When the site loads click on Product Updates
and let it scan your computer. If you see any critical updates it's
always a good idea to download those. If not, scroll down until you
see the update for Hebrew. Once you've found it, click on the checkbox
beside it and click the download button. That should fix the problem
of Hebrew not showing up in the language list. You may have to restart
your computer, but once that's done you can go back into the Keyboard
control panel and Hebrew should be listed there under Languages.
I hope this solves your problem! If not, please feel free to ask for clarification.

Hi. I have gone to Windows Update and have downloaded the critical
updates. Thank you. However, I do not see an update for Hebrew!
There are updates for other languages, but not Hebrew.
Any other suggestions?

Can you tell me what version of Internet Explorer you have? To do so,
click Help and then About Internet Explorer, and let me know what
number it says beside Version. Thanks.

Hi again,
I think I've figured out what the problem is. It seems that Microsoft
has changed Windows Update so that the language updates no longer show
up there. So, what you need to do is this:
Open up Control Panel and then open the Add/Remove Programs control
panel. Find Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 (or 6) and click on
Add/Remove. A small box should pop up with three options. Click on Add
a component and then click OK. This should launch the Internet
Explorer setup program. Once it loads, scroll down in the list to
almost the very bottom where you should see Hebrew Text Support. Click
the checkbox beside it and click next and it should install it for
you. You may have to restart your computer, but once that is done you
should be able to add Hebrew as a language in the Keyboard control
panel.
Hopefully this will fix your problem, but if not just come back and
request clarification.
Thanks,
Deadlychiapet

Hi deadlychiapet-ga,
I did as you said and went to the control panel and then Add/Remove
programs. First I saw that it does list Hebrew Language Support.
(Remember I said that I used to have it and then it disappeared?)
Then I ignored the Hebrew Language Support line and went to Microsoft
Internet Explorer 6 and followed your instructions. A box came up
that said I already have Hebrew Language Support and that I should
exit without doing anything.
So am I right back to where I started from when I posed my first question?

You did it! I've got the Hebrew back. I decided to remove the Hebrew
Language Support that did exist on my Add/Remove Programs and then
follow your directions from scratch. It worked! I am so grateful.
I'd like to use it for a few days before we close out, just to make
sure I don't have a problem with it.
Thanks again,
Grandma
