Hi you all. I'm having a problem here that's driving me crazy.. The option "Add keyboard layout" suddenly is unavailable.. I'm from Argentina, (that's my excuse for bad grammar) and my keyboard uses the locale es-es. My SO, as the thread title says, is Windows Ultimate x32. I recently installed the english language pack from windows update, hoping that some keyboards layouts would show up, but nothing happened.. I also tried this.

Happy New Year. My old computer's HD crashed badly. Needed a new laptop. It came with Windows 8. I never use the metro app. It is disgusting and wasteful and a real hassle to circumnavigate. How do I eliminate this app from Windows 8? I'm serious. Thanks.   A.J.B.2nd

I hate windows 8. How can I deinstall it and load windows 7
location: microsoft.com - date: December 13, 2012
I agree... the whole system seems to be setup for advertising and marketing... never mind what we actually need/want to use our computer for!!  We are not all 15-35 with nothing else to do with our time but play games and purchase products.  Sooo frustrating! (Apologies for all those in the above demographic who do other things too :)).   I agree as well, I do fall outside you age range for Win 8, I am 65years old. I bought my first machine in 1978 which was a Sorcerer and you had to use basic......this was more user friendly than Win 8!!!! I too want to use the machine for work.
