French Windows!

TBirdUK · 26 Jul 2007 at 12:50

Just brought a server which has a french version of Windows XP pro on it. Is there any way of converting this to English without a re-install (as it didnt come with the cd!!!). It has the product code sticker on the case so is an origional install.

Any ideas, could I use another cd of Windows XP and use the product code on the case??

you can use another copy of Xp pro oem cd to do it, as long as you put in the code on the sticker (i think)

re-install time i'm afriad. there's no other way.

you can get versions of xp where you can change the interface lanaguage but they require some sort of uber volume license agreement.

To change the language of the actual operating system you will need to get a copy of the "WindowsXP Multi-User-Interface Pack" which is only available via Microsoft's MSDN network.
