Language of my Windows XP

[Bob]

Hello, I live in Quebec City and I bought a PC. Out here,
most stores do not offer Windows XP in english with the
purchase of a new PC. How can I go about getting my
Windows XP in english without having to purchase a brand
new version. I can`t stand the french version of XP, I
went to school in Ontario in a english school, so most
terms I can`t really understand in french in the Windows.
Please help me. And I don`t really want to resort to
having to illegally getting my Wndows XP either, I would
like to do this legally if most possible.
Thank You
Bob

Bob;
You have two choices and the first you do not want to do...but Windows
XP in English.
The other is go back to the seller and see if they can switch French
for English.

Those are the options since the language can not be changed.

The only way you're going to change your copy of XP to English is to
purchase an English version and install it. Perhaps you can advertise
in a local paper there in Quebec City and arrange a swap with someone
who needs the French version but has an English version they would be
willing to trade you. Otherwise, there is no other choice but to
purchase one.
