    Question how do I change display language settings in windows xp

    I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the language display settings in Windows XP Porfessional???
    I specifcally need to change the Date display in control panel,as well as,
    time zone,i.e. afternoon/morning settings.

    Thanx!!

    Language settings are under Control Panel > Regional and Language Options.

    Date and time under Control Panel > Date and Time.

    Hi Jephree,
    I found out after purchasing the computer-used-that it had been tweaked by the previous owner;the time/date was setup bilingual-arabic for pm/am,
    and the month !!!I had to copy all my Windows XP Home Edition .cpl
    files over to this computer,because there was no category view available from tweaked control panel!!
    Once I copied over the files into the 'system' file,I was able to change the
    displayed language into English!

    I am having some issues,however,regarding how Windows XP 'blocks .exe files unless you allow these files to run;I have noticed on this computer
    that even Microsoft specific programs are 'blocked' by XP!?

    In any event,I have finally fixed the main issue I had posted,and am satisfied with the results.

    Thanx 4 the reply!!
