How to Enable Tamil in Windows XP?

If you are having Windows XP OS and are having problem viewing the Tamil fonts in ThamiZha,
then you have to enable Indic support. Doing so is quite simple, actually.
Just follow the simple steps mentioned below.

1) keep your XP installation CD at hand. (If you have misplaced yours, or if you have lost it,
please get one from your friend, or relative, or someone you know.)

2) Click Start > Control Panel.

3) Click Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options.

4) Now, click Regional and language Options.

5) In the Supplemental Language support, Check the "Install files for Complex Script
and right to left languages (including Thai) ", and then click Apply.

6) If you hadn't yet inserted the Win XP installation CD into your CD-ROM drive,
An alert will appear to ask you to insert the installation CD. Insert the CD and then click OK.
After the installation, your system will restart for proper operation

7) That's all... now your computer is enabled for Tamil Unicode.
