350388 2005-04-29 22:18:00 thx johnboy

but i'm talking about a clean install.

A complete new program from windows xp spanish to windows xp pro english.

i've been doing a bit of research and found that i must reformat the hard drive.

350389 2005-04-29 22:29:00 That's funny I just tried it in Control Pnael and changed to Spanish but doesn't make any difference. Looked at Keyboard and it's only got English installed so I guess yours has only got spanish hombre.

Me parece que el ordenador solamente contiene un idioma por el systeme fundamentale. Que tengas suerte. Llamanos.

350391 2005-04-29 23:55:00 Yup, I would say you'll have to format the hdd, and buy an English version of XP. Speedy Gonzales (78)
350392 2005-04-29 23:59:00 Changing the language options changes some tbings, eg Hotmail using IE, but not the whole OS. I knew a guy installed a Dutch version of XP for a Dutch/Kiwi and he said it was difficult because all the message of course cam up in Dutch. mark c (247)
350393 2005-04-30 00:05:00 O dejalo en Espanol. Buena practica por ti. mark c (247)
350394 2005-04-30 00:40:00 Yup, I would say you'll have to format the hdd, and buy an English version of XP.
hey speedy!
I got the cd but it tells me "the laguage you want to install differs from the language thats installed upgrade will not be possible"
then the option for the installation comes up.
others tell me the option to reformat will appear later,but i'm afraid to go any futher incase i mess up everything.
