Switching XP's Language

[JD]

Hi guys,
I bought a brand new computer with XP home ed. in
English. It's for my parents who only speak Spanish. I
looked in the help section and it said to install a
Windows Multilingual User Interface Pack. I tried
finding that, but only came up with something for an
embedded version or the messenger. I want to switch
everything including all the menu's over to spanish. Do
I need to buy a new XP spanish version or will this pack
be what i need and if it is, where can i find it?

Thanks

JD

You'll need to buy a Spanish version of XP.

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

The Multi-Language User Interface is available only as an add-on
to the English version of Volume Licensed WinXP Pro.

They have the English XP home edition. It came with the
computer, so i assume it is a properly liscenced version.

Thanks for the help.
