Hi

You can't change the Language of XP. You will have to purchase an English
full retail version XP CD. You can then either install the English version
over the top of the Spanish one, or dual boot both Languages.
 
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.

But for Windows Vista, is the same process in effect? I read that vista
ultimate gives you the power to change the operating language. Is this true?
