The Official microsoft language packs should do the trick

It keeps saying it can't be installed on this version of windows

Also, a while back I had Kazaa on this thing. I ran spybot search and destroy to clean up, and now everytime I start up I get a popup that says Runner Error Invalid BackWeb application id "137903"

Any idea how to fix that?

This page seems to offer a solution.

You need to install the appropriate language packs. You should be able to do this from the Operating System installation disk, if it's Windows 2000 or newer.

Might help a little if you told us just what version that is...

Language packs are only for 9x versions (95, 98, ME). For 2000 and XP, you'll have to add languages through the "Regional and Language Options" control panel. I don't have a copy of 2000 on hand, but under XP, you select the "Languages" tab and check "Install files for East Asian languages" to get CJK support. For Hebrew, Thai, and a few other "strange" scripts, also check "Install files for complex script and right-to-left languages."

If you want to run a completely foreign-language program, you'll have to change the default codepage to match. Go to the "Advanced" tab (also under the language options control panel) and select what you want from the drop-down menu, then hit OK and restart.
