What operating system is it? in vista go to Control Panel --> Regional And Language Options --> Select English from the drop down on the first tab
Should be similar in XP:beer: :A0 -

SFAIK, all that the Regional Settings do is affect the layout of the keyboard and the formatting of dates, currencies etc.
The only way to change language is to have an installation disk in the language concerned.[SIZE=-1]te audire non possum. musa sapientum fixa est in aure.[/SIZE]0 -

Users of other versions of Vista are limited to one language per installation by default, but utilities exist that can get around this.The only way to change language is to have an installation disk in the language concerned.
This one, for example.0
