Foreign Version of XP Home

[Angleus Gurl]

Help! I have recently bought a german computer with
Windows XP deutsch(germnay)Home Edition oem installed on
it, is there any way I can change the language of it or
will I have to fork out for English version?

So Sorry,
You are out of luck, unless you can speak the language.

Windows XP is written in specific language versions, therefore one
cannot change it from one language version to another. You'll need
to purchase a "Full Version" of Windows XP in the language version
you desire, reformat your drive and install it "clean".

Or if you have an available empty drive or partition, you can install
another "Full Version" of Windows XP in a different language version
and create a dual-boot configuration.

A good third-party partitioning program is Partition Magic 8.
