korean/english

[judeju]

please help a very lost individual,

i have recently relocated to south korea where i have
been given a computer with windows installed in korean.
i'm wondering if there is anyway to switch it over to
english so i can understand what the hell i'm doing! i've
changed the regional settings to english, but to no
avail. do i have to get my hands on an english windows cd
or is there a simple way to merely translate? also, if
there is a way, would it be the same for xp?

thanks a million.

Sorry, but you need a complete new English version.

also, if
there is a way, would it be the same for xp?

???? Isn't it XP we're talking about?
