I bought a PC in Germany and I got with it windows XP
home edition. Is there a way to set english as the
language. I tried in regional settings, but there is no
other language available other than german. Is there a
download of some sort ?

Thanks

Windows XP is written in specific language versions, therefore one
cannot change it from one language version to another. You'll need
to purchase a "Full Version" of Windows XP in the language version
you desire, reformat your drive and install it "clean".

Or if you have an available empty drive or partition, you can install
another "Full Version" of Windows XP in a different language version
and create a dual-boot configuration.

A good third-party partitioning program is Partition Magic 8.
