Hi

I am in the process of acquiring original windows vista home premium (OEM) preinstalled in German.
Can anyone tell me how to go about changing the language into English during the process of setup. Of course I am assuming it is possible to do so at some stage.

The display language is the language that Windows uses in wizards, dialog boxes, menus, Help and Support topics, and other items in the user interface. Some display languages are installed by default, and others require you to install additional language files. When you change the display language, it is changed for your user account and is not changed on the Welcome screen. If you want to set the display language for multiple users or the Welcome screen, see Apply regional and language settings to reserved accounts.


1. Open Regional and Language Options by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Clock, Language, and Region, and then clicking Regional and Language Options.
2. Click the Keyboards and Languages tab.
3. Under Display language, choose a language from the list, and then click OK.
NoteIf you don't see the list of display languages, you need to install additional language files first. For more information, see Install a display language.

Hi

Late response regretted. Tks for your advice. Since posting, the problem has been resolved in that the retailer is now in a position to preinstall the English version. Hopefully hope to have in my posession within 10 (ten) days.
