You can only change the language of Vista if you have Vista Ultimate
or Enterprise.

With Ultimate, you can download the language packs for free.
Just open Windows Update, choose "view available updates",
and check the language pack you want.


Afterwards, from Control Panel (categories view), just choose
"Change display language" under "Clock, Language and Region".
Pick your language, log off, log on, and done.


If you have another version of Vista other than those two,
you'll need to purchase a "full English version" of Windows
Vista and perform a "clean install".

Hi,

English can be very confusing. Dutch is not German. Dutch is Nederlands,
the language of The Netherlands, commonly called Holland. German, the
language of Germany + Austria + part of Switzerland, is called Deutsch
in German. It is easy to confuse Deutsch and Dutch.
