Well you could boot it from your own copy if you have it. I also found a link for a Language pack from Microsoft but i'm not really sure what you have to do to use it. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;DisplayLang=en

Hopefully though you can download it and change the language without having to install it.

Hmm I don't think that's possible without reinstalling windows, if I'm right every windows CD rom or DVD rom has its own language, and the language can't easily be changed that wise. Think about it, if you need a new CD / DVD to install windows in your own prefered language that's another pile of dollars for microschoft!

I think it's not possible.
From english to an other language is possible is you have Windows XP Prof. (this pakket is call MUI)
But is your windows is French it's most likly the French version.

It's possible that teher are on your hard drive some recovery files.
Here in Belgium when you start a laptop for the first time you get the choice to install Windows
In English , French or Dutch (I don't know if it deletes the other languages after starting up).

Ofcourse in France (Paris) they have only one language 'French'.

Installing it in English can be done if you have the restore disks of the same type of computer in English.
(they can be bought by a computer vendor I think )

Well, I think now there is a way to do it. You may search over the Micro$oft site. I think they have new language packs since Vista, but they also have some XP ones!

Sadly this is not possible in the "normal" versions of Windows XP, only in the multilingunal version.

Conclusion: You will need to buy or reuse (from an old PC) an english copy of windows.

Replying to cjm1504 Hello, As I understand it the mission is to change the language of the User Interface which cannot be changed the way described earlier in this forum as far as I have seen. Microsoft has developed MUI for this which stands for multilingual user interface. Multilingual user interface pack can be downloaded here: http://torrents.Thepiratebay.Org/3892039/Multi_Language_Installer_For_windows_XP.3892039.TPB.Torrent Burn it or mount in daemon tool or similar. After installing this ad-on a new feature appears. Click on start=>control panel=>regional and language options=>languages. A new drop down list appears where you can change the language of the windows user interface. Done. -reply by Erik

after inserting your OS in the rom, it will prompt you to install or repair, choose INSTALL FRESH COPY then it will tell you to FORMAT your previous system. Formatting will delete all your data from where you install your previous windows, if it is partitioned, two drives (eg, C: and D:) then put your important files in another drive..  just follow the wizard...:)

    haven't downloaded, but will do so when I find a suitable Adiumlike program). Does anyone know
