Using English language on a Danish version of WinXP Home SP1
My husband lived overseas (Denmark) and bought WinXp Home
overseas as well. It is a danish version, but now that he lives in the USA with me -- we'd like to install an English version, since I can't speak a lick of Danish but he can comprehend English. We did a clean-install of XP & reformatted the drive, and when it asked us which language to use - we chose English, but when it asked for the keyboard settings - we chose Danish, so that he can use his alphabet when emailing his family/friends. (We have a keyboard with the added danish characters.) But when we restarted the comp, everything was STILL in danish!! I have heard that I can make my own windows login & have English (USA) settings for it - which is fine for when I'm logged into my desktop, but what if I need to go into BIOS or something like that -- it'll all be in Danish! Yikes! Is there ANY way to change the computer language from Danish to English, or am I stuck with having to hunt him down & translate everything on the screen? (I'm getting peeved at the WinXP "Velkomme" screen. Thank god for icons!) And no, I am NOT going to take formal classes to learn Danish for the sake of being able to use XP. :-) Any English-speaking help would be greatly appreciated. (My hubby's in the Danish/int'l tech support side, looking for help as well.) J&J |
