I just bought a new computer (Acer) and while booting it up for the first time, I chose the wrong language, instead of English, I clicked on French.. and now everything is in french, I have tried changing the keyboard layout setup and even the region, location etc. but no use. What do i do?
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 , 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.
Note:If 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.
Try an application called Vistalizator. It allows you to change display language in Vista Home and Business.
