I am currently working in France, just bought a new desktop but the problem
is all the instructions are in French. Is there any language pack that I can
download to change the system to english one? Or can I do anything to change
it? Please advice.

Hi,

If your version is Ultimate, then you can download and install the English
language MUI from Windows Update and switch over. For any other version, all
you would be able to do is install keyboard support for English, but the
base OS language would remain French.

Vista Ultimate would be the appropriate choice in this situation since it
includes all world wide language interfaces.
