Language SettingsHow To Change Windows Xp Language ?

people

it's not easy to change language unless you have multi-language support os

If you can't change it through region tab thingy then it means you can't.

like my dad just bought a small laptop with all chinese OMG. I don't know how to help him== gosh since his small crappy laptop doesn't have cd rom OMG( that's more worse than not being able to change language through reinstallation)

lucky I have my own mac(multi-language user friendly OS)

Accidentally installed wrong languageHow To Change Windows Xp Language ?Hi - I recently bought an Acer Aspire which automatically begins the installation of XP Home Edition when you turn it on. When prompted to chose the language, I chose what I thought was the Canadian version of English (yes - that is different from US) but it installed in French instead. Changing regional settings does not work. I was told the only way to change this is to buy another version of XP. So, I got a new Windows xp Home Edition which I was going to use to reinstall. The computer won't let me. As soon as the installation starts, the system stops and tells me (in French) that I already have that version installed - argh!.So, how do I have a new installation of XP override the current XP blocking it?-reply by Hamish

down the bottom of the start bas, next to the clock, there should be a little button with 'ger' or 'deu' written on it. click it and select 'english' if the button isnt there, then it has a german version of windows on it. you will have to reinstall an english version :-( you might ber able to download a patch to change it to english from the microsoft website, but im not sure.

Need to re-install windows?How To Change Windows Xp Language ?

Try using "Partition Commander". You can then erase the old version of windows, and put the new one on. There are various programs out there that can erase an old drive. Be sure to back up your data you want to keep, because it will erase everything.

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...

Replying to cjm1504Hello,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://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ 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

MUI wonHow To Change Windows Xp Language ?

I have XP Home and am trying to do the same thing. The MUI pack from Microsoft won't install, because it only works with XP Pro. Here is a note in the readme of the Microsoft Windows XP Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI):

---------------

Supported Platforms:

The Windows XP MUI pack only works with Windows XP Professional Edition. The MUI files cannot be installed on Windows XP Home Edition. A 32-bit MUI pack can only be installed on 32-bit Windows XP. You must use A 64-bit MUI pack on  64-bit Windows XP. The number of supported MUI languages On 64-bit will be different from 32-bit XP.

Re: How To Change Windows Xp Language ? How To Change Windows Xp Language ?

Hello!

My Windows XP is in Greek language and would like to change to English.

I have followed iGuest instructions downloaded replacer as well as the English Shell32.Dll file in the link indicated. (http://dll.downloadatoz.com/shell32.Dll-file-download.html)

I dragged and dropped the old Shell32.Dll file found in  C/Windows/System32 to the replacer, and after I dragged and dropped the new (English version Shell32.Dll file).

After that I was requested to reboot, which I did.

When the computer rebooted was still everything in Greek and inside the C/Windows/System32 I found: Shell32.Backup, Shell32.Dll and Shell32.Dll_SafeToDel.

Any suggestions?? What do I need to do to complete the procedure and change the Windows Xp Language from Greek to English??

Regards,
