  1. I didn't get to choose anything since I wasn't the one installing XP. A friend of mine downgraded a new Vista laptop to XP for me, as I stated in the first post. What are you saying? That I should scrub XP off my drive and reinstall it to see if I can choose the language setting?
  2. Thanks for this attempt but sadly, it didn't do anything but change my date/time format *sigh* Everything else is still in German - like the Start Menu, the desktop icon names (where, for example, it says Arbeitsplatz instead of My Computer or Eigene Daten instead of My Documents. In the Start Menu, it still reads Programme instead of Programs and Beenden instead of Turn off Computer, just to give a few examples). Also, Guild Wars still runs in German too. *sigh* Anyone got a different idea? Pretty please? This is driving me nuts!
  3. Hello everyone, I have a laptop on which Windows XP was installed over here in Germany (German license, German program). Now I installed my (bought in America-) Guild Wars game on it, connected to the offered server to finish the installation and found that my Guild Wars game 'speaks' German to me now (for example, where it should say 'log in', it says 'einloggen', where the game prompt for me to use would be 'talk', it says 'sprechen' etc. etc.). I contacted support and after a long few emails going back and forth, the reply for fixing this issue was The only way to correct this is to set the Windows Default Language to English U.S. Now .. I would LOVE for my whole interface (desktop, start menu, program folders etc. etc.) to be English rather than German (I just didn't pay attention when I had someone 'downgrade' my laptop from Vista to XP and they legally acquired a used German license rather than an American one - meh). So .. is there a way to set my whole computer to English, thus fixing not only my annoyance with my start menu, desktop labeling etc. but also, in one sweep, apparently fixing my Guild Wars problem? I am a big time scaredy cat when it comes to altering anything in my computer's settings so .. a very detailed, complete run-down would be highly appreciated, folks - otherwise I know I'll mess it up Thanks already for everyones' help and effort, silky cat
