Default Windows XP Pro SP3 Russian

Hello there,

Ive been searching on different sites all day and I now need your help chaps.

I have a laptop which is running Windows XP Pro SP3 32bit and, as a favour to
somebody, I would like to convert this to a Russian language operating system....all the menus etc have to be in Russian.

This MUI business does not seem to work, so I really believe I need a Russian copy of Windows and do a new install which Im prepared to do if I can get hold of such a copy.....any ideas????

Thanks Mel. I did come across that while I was searching but the price put me off. Costs more than the laptop's worth!
