i got an german WINXP on my pc, but i want it english, without a new
installation.

on my search, i found only language packs for offic and such programms.

Hi,

You can install support for English (control panel/regional and language
options/languages tab, click details), but the base OS will still be German.
For an English version of the OS, you will need to clean install an English
version of WindowsXP.

Windows XP is written in specific language versions, therefore one
cannot change it from one language version to another. You'll need
to purchase a "Full Version" of Windows XP in the language version
you desire, reformat your drive and install it "clean".

Or if you have an available empty drive or partition, you can install
another "Full Version" of Windows XP in a different language version
and create a dual-boot configuration.
