Change language

[Nicolas Macarez]

Hi !
My desktop is running Windows VISTA Business.
It is running an English language version and I wish to change the language
to French.
Is it really possible, or do I really need to upgrade my version to VISTA
Ultimate or VISTA Enterprise?
I wish it exists another way...

Help appreciated.
Regards
Nicolas

You have to do an English upgrade to Ultimate, then download the French.
Whatever language the computer came installed with, also has to be the
Upgrade language.

Unfortunately, it is not possible.

Take note of the what Nic and Mike said. I just want to add that you do not
have to change to the French language version to add French keyboard support
to the OS. You can have keyboards for many languages within the English
version.

Thanks to you all for your replies.
Unfotunately, my fears are confirmed...

Google "Change Vista Language", for example:

http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/...-for-business-home-premium-and-basic-edition/

It's a long link. Just paste it back together if the program puts in a line
break. I haven't tried this, but it says you can install another interface
language in Vista Business, Home Premium and Home Basic versions.

That is one link I will never open.Tyniurl,com can be anything and opening it can cause havoc. I seen and heard this tooooo many times for me to open one of those links from tyniurl,com

To each his own.

I trust my a/v and malware programs - and my backups.

But I don't trust other people's AV and Malware, because they might not have
any. Rather than get blamed for something, I posted a long link and warned
people about it. Now if it was one of the Spanish language groups that I
frequent, well not too many newbies dare venture in there...

 

[Richard Urban]

Agreed!

I am not about to trust someone who I don't know to not send me something
that may be purposefully malicious.
