Hi there
Quick question. I bought this computer in Spain so XP is in Spanish. In add and remove programs there is the following:

Microsoft.NET 1.1 Spanish Language Pack

If I delete this will XP turn into English?
Hope you can help
Thanks

Hi,

Moreover If you had bought the PC in spain, they might have given you the Spanish version. It better that you install WIN XP english pack.
Also,

There is a special bundle pack of Windows2k, XP and 2003 which comes with MUI, 6cd's. That will let you change the language. With language I mean the user interface (buttons, menus, texts...all).

It's co$tly and only for volume licensing and enterprise. your best bet is to get a windows xp cd for the language you want.

thanks, i have a cop of xp home SP 1a. If I use that (in English) can I change the language or would I have to format the disc?

you may be able to do a repair instaltion

How do you perform a reinstallation of Windows XP, sometimes called a repair installation?

Configure your computer to start from the CD-ROM drive. For more information about how to do this, refer to your computer's documentation or contact your computer manufacturer. Then insert your Windows XP Setup CD, and restart your computer.

1. When the Press any key to boot from CD message is displayed on your screen, press a key to start your computer from the Windows XP CD.

2. Press ENTER when you see the message To setup Windows XP now, and then press ENTER displayed on the Welcome to Setup screen.

3. Do not choose the option to press R to use the Recovery Console.

4. In the Windows XP Licensing Agreement, press F8 to agree to the license agreement.

5. Make sure that your current installation of Windows XP is selected in the box, and then press R to repair Windows XP.

6. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete Setup.

is the copy of XP on the PC the same ie Home/Pro

If you could'nt repair it as given by brain damage, you should format the disc.
