I have a laptop and my hardisk went; I do consulting and I'm in Lima Peru; the installation was done by a local Tech support and I requested the installation in English; just about everything is in English but the first 2 pages. Thanks!

Start -> Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options

Under the 'Regional Options' tab, make sure "Standards and formats" is set to English (United States) and that "Location" is set to United States.

Under the 'Advanced' tab, make sure "Language for non-Unicode programs" is set to English (United States).

¿La página de la Bienvenida de Windows XP en español, por qué?


Porque el español ha invadido el EEUU

Aprenda español, el Gringo
