need to change my windows language

[SLUGFly]

I bought my computer in Korea but I can't read Korean.
Does anyone know where I could find a patch that would
change my computer text to english?

It's not a lot to ask and it couldn't be so big... 5 megs
I think, absolute max 10 megs, based on english patches
I've downloaded for other software that never exceed a
full meg.

If anyone can help out I'm very grateful.

Hi,

Doesn't work that way. To change the base operating system language, you
will need to purchase and clean install an English version of WindowsXP.

The solution is to buy an English version of Windows XP and install it.

One cannot change from one language version of Windows to
another language version. You'll need to purchase a "full version"
of Windows XP in your desired language version and then perform
a "clean install".

Greetings --

There's no such "patch" available.

You cannot upgrade or "patch" from one language version of the OS
to another, so you'll have to purchase and use the full version of
English WinXP to perform a clean installation.
