East Asian Languages without an XP cd

Hi,

I'm looking to be able to view and use East Asian characters on my windows XP laptop (Inspiron 6400) - specifically I need Chinese characters.  I know that there's a way to go through control panel - add languages - east asian languages, but you need an XP disc.  I don't even know if my computer came with a disc - it had XP ready loaded, and if it did I certainly don't have it with me. 

I've read similar problems in other forums but non of them have come up with an answer - could any one help?

Thank you...

Ni
