Default changing languages in Vista

Hi,

I've just got a new PC with Vista. Thing is, I bought it in Spain and now have the OS in Spanish. My mate told me I could switch it to English after switching it on for the first time.If that is right I must have done something wrong case I still have it in Spanish.

Is there any way I can either switch it to English or download the English content or must I buy a new OS in English?

I would really appreciate any feedback.

Ciao,

Default changing languages in Vista

Click Start>Control panel>Clock, language & Region>Regional & language options

Then select the 'Administrative' tab.

Then click the 'System Locale' button.

Change the language here.

This only works for non-unicode text though.

to change the rest of text you'll need to change the default locale

Go back to 'Regional & language options'

In the 'Keyboard and languages' tab and the 'location' tab change yours to 'United Kingdom'.

This should sort you out.
