My sister bought me a laptop from Dubai, its a good i3 computer with high definition graphics card. Everything seems to be perfect. But my problem is the language. Please help. I don't know how to change this to English version. I don't want to buy another operating system just to change the language. I know that there is a better ways.
Try the following steps below:
1. Download and install the Windows Service Pack with your selected language.
2. Click Start > Run and then type regedit to launch and change the Language Registry key.
3. Expand the following:
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/NIs/Language”.
4.Ensure that you created a backup of your registry keys before editing your registry. This is to ensure that you can always go back to your previous settings in case you will have a problem with editing the registry. Just click on the File> Export and then save the values on your hard disk drive. If you will be having a problem, you can always restore the default keys by clicking on File> Import and select the keys you just saved.
Hi Abets,
I have seen your question about how to change default windows XP to English, this is a very simple process, you do not need to buy other operating system, these are the following steps to take:
Go to Start click control panel – Double click regional and language option icon.
Under the language option click on details and a drop box will display all languages including the different versions of English, select the English you need, add the selected language.
Still if you want to set English as a default for a particular user name, under the Regional and Language option click on Advanced, in the drop box click on English language then check the last option that indicates. Apply all settings to the current username and to the default username then click OK.
The last step is to log off and restart your computer, this will enable the changes to effect.
First, click on the “Start” button. Then click on the “Control Panel” (find the icon with the pen and ticked paper). Next find the image with a calendar and a globe, it should write next to it:” Date/Time, Language and local settings”. After you have clicked it, you should see at the bottom of the page a globe image and next to it should be written the phrase:” Local Settings and languages options”, click on that too.
A new window will be opened, click on the second tab, which should write on it: “Languages”. Click on “Details” button and at the option: “ Default entry language “ choose “English” press ok, close all the windows and then do a restart to set the settings and you are ready.
