Software which requires US Version of Win XP

[Guest]

Hi, I got the following problem...

Situation:
I bought my PC 4 years ago in Malaysia, now I am living in the US and bought
software which requires the United States Version of Windows XP (DeLorme
Earthmate GPS LT20 with Street Atlas 2006).

Problem:
I cannot install the new software ;-(

Questions:
1) I do not know how to find out which windows country version I have?
2) Most important, since I expect to have a non US Version, is there a way
to change the country setting?

Is there anybody who could help or knows what to do?

You would have to purchase and install a new version of Windows XP..

Hi,

later I found the solution in another forum without the purchase of a new
OS. That is how it works:

Go into START -> Control Panel -> Date, Time, and Rgional Options ->
Regional and Language Options I set all settings in Regional Options,
Languages and Advanced to US English or their equivalent, restarted the
Laptop and than installed street atlas 2006 without any problems.

All the best,
