Vista Home Premium - English not Spanish Version

[Guest]

Greetings to All!
I bought from CompUSA an HP Pavilion Model a1726x, with Vista Home Premium
(Spanish version), factory installed; the machine was the last one available
and used as a demo on CompUSA's floor; the store is slated to shut down next
month. The machine is working perfectly except that everything is in Spanish;
both the shop tech and me, attempted to change the OS to the English version,
without success. HP Support says that, upon start-up the first time after
buying a new machine, the user is given a choice of English or Spanish
language; I want the English version. The HP PC came with an Upgrade disc
from MS and I used it to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium - the English
version. However, I lost the software bundled with the original installation.
After installing the new OS, I was successful in activating it through MS and
the machine is working just fine. I have two questions: (1) Does anyone know
how to activate the bundled software (Roxio Creator; Muvee autoProducer; MS
Works 8; Norton Internet Security 2007), even though it might only be in
Spanish? (2) Using the System Restore discs from HP, to format the drive and
restore the machine to the factory prepared version, I will lose the product
key for Vista Home Premium. Will I be able to get OS product activation a 2nd
time on the same machine? Your recommendations are appreciated. Thank you.

Hello ZuluDiver,

I hesitate to inform you, but you've posted in Windows Defender Ngs check it
out with someone closer to the scene.

You'll get more knowledgeable help for Hewllett-Packard in a HP newsgroup or
for Software and Connectivity Suport, at HP: 1-800-474-6836.

I'm sure you'll get more detailed help from the guys who know a lot more
than me, but I hope this is enough to get you on the right road for now

Note – The Support for Hewllett-Packard transfer you to India :-( ,but if
you speak Spanish, you are better there. Select that option

Good luck
