HI,

I bought my laptop PC in Greece that had an English version of Windows XP pre
installed.
I am now resident in the UK and have recently purchased a canon printer but the
installation CD will only try to install in Greek. Its as if the CD is detecting
that the PC is Greek and automatically installing using the Greek language
without giving me the option to choose my location. I have changed the Regional
language settings of the PC but with no success.
Any help greatly appreciated as my Greek is not too good.
Regards
Dynamo

Install an English-language version of WinXP.
