Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages tab,
click Details > click Add > under Input Language, add the language that you want to use
Under Keyboard layout/IME, click the keyboard layout that you want, and then click OK.

On windows ME you have to install the multilanguage support first.
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Windows Setup
Multilanguage Support check the Multilanguage Support box

After you reboot go to Control Panel > Keyboard > Language tab > click Add
Click the language that you want to use, and then click OK.

I know Gecko's solution will allow you to install a multil language cd in a language other than English. A customer accused me of switching an HP printer driver disk when I returned his machine. It only booted in Spanish--his kids had messed with it :mad: That fixed it.

I've noticed a lot of software that I've downloaded from emule (Microsoft goodies) can be in French, Italian, Spanish or as in my last fiasco, Korean :evil: . Its made for that country.

Unless that machine was speaking englase a while back, I would suspect that your going to need a Spanish English dictionary. :wink:

I've installed English apps on a Tiawanese system. The yes,no and I agree prompts are in the same locations. You can't read them, but you can figure it out from an Engish system. MS Office worked OK

I could be wrong, It happens now and then--this could be one of those "then" days
