    Hello Ardebeli,

    Sorry, but you will only be able to change the display language in the Vista Ultimate and Enterprise editions, and not in a Vista Home Basic.

    Adding to what Brink said, the only proper way is to re-install windows using an english installation CD.

    Does this also applies for Windows XP?

    Yes it does.

    I had a windows XP laptop, and it was in chinese. I wanted it to be in english, and the only way to fix was to install an english version.
