XP IN german

[Juliet]

I have Xp that I got with the computer that I bought in
Germany. Problem is everything is in German. Is there a
way I can change the language to English? Do I need the
registration from XP? (I dont think I have it anymore)

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.

A good third-party partitioning program is Partition Magic 8.

Sorry, no. Copies are language-specific and if you want it to be
in English, you need to buy an English version.

You cannot upgrade or convert 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.
