of you continental European guys.<BR><BR>If one was to buy a WXP laptop
from,say, a German seller and give that to an English speaker, is there
any way of changing the display of system messages, option names etc to all
be in English? Or would one have to buy and install a UK copy of
WXP?<BR><BR>--<BR>Andy
