Hope someone can help me with query about Windows Vista.

I live out in Spain and a friend just bought a new machine with Vista preinstalled.
Problem is it is in Spanish, question is can it be changed to English?

I am surprised with all the experts on here, nobody has come forward with any help.

You will have to clean install an English version for the operating system..
Different language versions will not upgrade over each other either
Quote:
For the most part, each copy of Vista comes in one distinct language. (Exceptions, however, do exist, such as in India where there are multiple dominant languages.) If you wish to change the language you must download a Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI). Unfortunately such is only supported by Vista Enterprise and Vista Ultimate, so as a Home Premium user there is nothing you can really do unless you are willing to either upgrade to Ultimate or purchase an English copy.

read this and see if it elps ye

I have a french laptop that I had to set to english. The only way was to install an english version of Windows XP.

As far as I know, that operating system you have was designed in english (text, images) and the only way is to get an english version or some kind of language pack, and even that wont fix everything.
