    Odd one here

    Just did a upgrade reinstall of win xp SP2 from a backup copy on my DELL E520 to fix some errors I was having but now some of my menus and dialogue boxes are in Czech and some in a mix of Czech and English

    Anyone else have this problem before

    Any and all help gratefully received

    Its across the board really see attached screen grab for an example

    Also stuff like the tag on the show desktop quick launch icon now reads "Zobraziť pracovnú plochu" instead of show desktop

    What were the problems you were having? Were they malware related? Have you (had) a virus?

    Thats the problem it was a computer that I left in my house with my housesitters while I was awat travelling but have AVG running and have scanned for malware as well. Both came back clear

    The reason I did the reinstall was that I was getting runtime errors when I opened the user accounts applet in control panel and when I tried to access services in administrative tools

    Doing an 'upgrade install' of Windows XP isn't reinstalling it properly, neither is a repair install. My suspicion is that whoever you loaned your laptop to has installed a Czech LIP (Language Interface Pack) that has caused most of the generic menus in Windows XP to be in Czech.

    You will need to uninstall this program in Add/Remove programs (a reinstall won't do this for you).

    Nope no LIP installed.

    The thing is that I didn't have the czech menus till after I did the upgrade install so I think that the files in the i386 folder that came iwth my machine are corrupt which isn't good.

    I have tried sinec to do a full install with another copy of win xp but the installer blue screens at the copy file stage. Feeling its a boot to a cd and write zeros to the hard drive job :(
