    Hi folks,

    Just received and assembled the components for my new build. Everything has gone swimmingly till I installed XP... it's in German! Changing the locale and language settings doesn't result in an English XP user interface...

    Is there anything I can do?

    Same with ordering keyboards from there, all in german too. I don think there is a way to change it back to english to be honest. Maybe try the microsoft website and check for a KB for help there ?

    Can you borrow an English CD, install it with your lic code? The lic is for a copy of the software regardless of language.

    While that's what I would do, the mod on here once told me the EULA doesn't allow you to do that. :rolleyes:
