    Guys need help here. A friend of mine came from Italy and gave me a Travelmate4230 Acer laptop... aba laking pasalamat ko kasi libre... but when I booted it up, unfortunately the language of the Win XP OS installed is in Italiano... tried to play around the regional/language settings in the control panel, but to no avail. Now am currently downloading windows update english pack from the microsoft webpage, and am not sure if that is gonna work.

    Unfortunately my friend lost the WinXP installer or the recovery disk so I can not go back and change the language from there. The OS installed is genuine. Any idea how can I change the WinXP OS Italiano language into English language?

    Worst case baka mag aral na lang akong mag Italiano, hehehe

    either you can request for an english XP from Acer... or just reinstall an english copy of XP and erase it.

    reinstall (you can use any pirated installer) and use the CDkey number sa sticker under the laptop.

    oops. di ko napansin na ginalaw mo na yung mga language settings. pero check mo na rin yung link. baka may paraan dun like a link for installing an english language pack (just like in installing other languages), just in case hindi talaga naka-install english sa system na yan.

    buongiorno, I have the same problem before with the license french Xp. I installed a pirated Xp but using the license french Xp serial # and it works. So basically legal pa rin (yata?) yung Xp OS ko. BTW, lucky you got a nice free lappy.

    Ciao!
