Go to the Start menu and select Control Panel. • Double-click Regional and Language Options. • Click the Regional Options tab and within Standards and formats, select the language that you wish. • Click Apply and then click OK. |

proverbial as for ur solution i think u are right, but if the whole write up of the operating system I s german Laguage, E.g My computer, Internet explorer is being written in german, what would be the solution is to format the harddisk and install a windows version for English. I hope this i'll help. |

Thanks for your suggestion but, no, it will not help. Formatting a system is an option to be avoided at all costs. |

seun Then if u don't know the solution give alternative solution if u know it, Formatting a system is just erasing the content of harddisk but is not adviceable to format if u have valuable file on the drive. if u reload the OS with english version without formating u are overwriting the system files with different laguage version which will cause alot code error. so if u solution seun share it |

@seun What proverbial said is right but it may not work. I have tried it before but we still ended up not getting into english language becos the OS itself was in german language. I had to reinstall the OS in english language. Cyras is right. Seun if you have a solution better than proverbial then let us know. |

ishmael @ Thanks very much ishmael to show that u too have the experience, they is no other solution than this except to reload with english version and seun if another magical way of doing this let us know. |

thanx everyone, really don't think there could be any other solution apart from installing a fresh copy of the OS; tried the suggestions here but it don't work. the language setting must have been effected during installation of the OS. |

my laptop came with a spanish xp preinstalled, i installed a pirated version of xp over it. there was some 1gb of useless data left over. you may have a lot of deleting to do afterwards.(left over german user profile, etc, which may come up to 1 gb) after installing, you still have to do the language thingy in the control panel.(set the keyboard layout to German) |

RuuDie (m) thanx everyone, really don't think there could be any other solution apart from installing a fresh copy of the OS; tried the suggestions here but it don't work. the language setting must have been effected during installation of the OS. Ruudie It seems as if u don't know the basic of Installing of Operating system once u know the basic u would't even have problem of german language at CMOS/BIOS setup at startup or u need assistance of doing this, find somebody that is good or i can fine one for u to install it. |
