Okay, so, if I'm on a computer, and for some reason the installed language is not the one I want, is there any way to change it?

I've googled it, and followed instructions, but it seems I'm only changing the keyboard format, which I've done before.

So, this is a..4 year old computer? its got windows xp, and start + all the programs, and all the error messages, are not the language I want. I've been told I'd have to install a new language package, if so, can anyone give me any advice to this?

Thank you =)

Display, I already have the keyboard set to international, I was just hoping I could change the language of the programs, error messages ,all that.

Search Microsoft site for updates regarding your language, there should be a language pack to download, and when you dload it and install it it should work fine. At least it's that way with serbian language pack.

BTW MS may check is your windows legal, if it is not, you won't be able to get updates.

Try searching for russsian language pack interface with cyrillic. It should work.
