[Fwd: Re: [PcTech] Changing operating language in XP Pro

[Rob Dixon <rob.dixon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

When my Thinkpad hard drive went recently when on holiday in France, to 
save time, I purchased a copy of XP Pro from a local shop as IBM 
could'nt get me English language reccovery CD'S as quickly as they could 
ship a new hard drive. I wanted to upgrade another machine to XP Pro 
when I got home so it would not be a waste of money.

When I installed it on the new drive, even though I requested UK english 
for every option, XP Pro insisted in sticking to French except for 
keyboard layout  and time zone.  If a window says, in English, "Do you 
want to ..." the boxes below have the options "Oui" and "Non", rather 
than "Yes" and "No".

I feel sure that it must be possible to change this, but does anyone 
know how?  Whilst I can cope with the French, I would prefer English.

many thanks
