Hi,
I have 2 problems with Vista I hope somebody can help me with.
(Don't advise me to get Ubuntu, I already run that but need Vista too)
Problem1: Language:
After making the mistake of buying the Dutch version of Vista Home
Premium, I discovered it is impossible to let Vista talk english to me.
From what I read (also in here) I get the impression only Ultimate can
change language.
Is this correct?
I looked at Windows Vista Language Interface Pack (LIP).
http://www.microsoft.com/industry/publicsector/government/locallanguage/default.aspx
But it seems I can get Zulu, Farsi, and general African, etc, but NO
english.
Did M$ really decide to support to switch language to Zulu, but NOT to
english?
Is this for real or do I miss something important here?
Problem2: Sizes of windows
Maybe this is related to my Dutch version, not sure (see problem 1).
I have a lot of windows that contain text that is NOT readable because
it doesn't fit in the place.
I think some areas are designed for english, and dutch text is sometimes
longer. (Actually most of the time because dutch is a retarded language.)
A resize of the window would be nice, but many windows do not allow a
resize.
eg: msconfig, some stuff in IIS, etc.
Does anybody know of a way to fix this?
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Erwin Moller
