Solved Control Panel problems

** PROBLEM RESOLVED; SEE LAST POST **

I recently switched Vista's display language to French, and now I can't get it back to English. Control Panel opens, but most of the icons (including regional settings) don't open anything when I double-click them.

I've searched the internet and nothing has helped.

HP Pavilion DV6000
CPU: Intel Core Duo T2450, 2000 MHz (15 x 133)
RAM: 1GB
Graphics: Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family (256 MB)
OS: Vista Ultimate 32bit

Thanks ahead of time.

Have you also tried:

Start Orb/Button > Run > control intl.cpl > OK

(Every now and again the registry gets hosed and forgets how to point *.cpl files to the control panel correctly.)

Also, what about safe mode?
control intl.cpl didn't work. And booting in safe mode gives me the same grief.

EDIT: I've resolved the problem by creating a new user account and deleting the old. I am back to using Windows in English. Thanks to all who helped! :)
