I'm glad it looks as if it will work out for you in the end, let us know how it goes after you get the restore DVD.

I wonder what kind soul told you that you need to reformat your drive to get that. All you needed to do was go to Windows Control Panel/Language and Regional Standards/Languages and tick "Install right-to-left languages support" (sorry for rough translation from Russian but it should be close). This way you would have retained StreetDeck in working condition and got the possibility of working with Arabic language in Windows apps (but NOT in StreetDeck!).

Now I presume you have installed Arabic version of Windows, right? Well, StreetDeck will not run on it correctly unless you do some deep hacking.
