Hi! One of my friends has bought himself a notebook yesterday. It doesn't have any Windows Vista Installation DVDs, and he's got this problem:
The display language is Italian, and he'd like it to be English, as he does not speak Italian (he's Romanian, and so do I).
After some time of trying to find a way to change the display language, we've discovered where the menu should be, but it's not there. Just have a look over the screenshots. I've found the second one Googling, and the first one was taken by him. WHERE THE HELL IS THE MENU?!?
He's currently running SP1.
Thanks in advance!

What you and your friend need to do is change the display language (Multi User Interface - MUI). Unfortunately that is only really available on Ultimate and Enterprise editions of Vista, but there is a way around it. Start with reading here,
for a more detailed description on how to use Vistalizator.
As fas as the install DVD, that is sort of standard practice with just about every PC and laptop manufacturer out there. What they do is provide either a restore partition or the option to create recovery disks, and sometimes both, the last HP computer I worked had both. You may find that once you can understand what is on-screen, you may find the option to create recovery disks is available on that noetbook as well.
