Changing languages in XP

[Neil Cockburn]

I have bought another computer in Greece, and it came
with the Greek XP version pre-installed.
I have purchased the English version of XP separately,
but when I try to install, I am told that I cannot
continue as the installed version is in another language.
As I know only a little Greek at this stage, I do not
know how to uninstall the Greek XP version either.
Can anyone help me please.
Thanks in advance.

You'll need to purchase a "full version" of Windows XP
(English version) and then perform a "clean install".
