Hi,
I have recently bought a new laptop with windows vista on it but as I live
in Spain and purchased it in Spain the language is in Spanish and as I dont
speak Spanish I would like to change the language to English.
Any ideas please!!

You've most probably got Vista Home Basic or Premium on it, which you will
have to upgrade to Ultimate. Then you can use language packs to change it
to English. You will still have the Spanish keyboard though, of course.

That depends on what Vista edition you bought. If you have Ultimate, you can
download an English multi-lingual user interface pack (MUI) from Microsoft.
If it is a Home or Business edition you can not, and you should try to have
the retailer replace your laptop with an English speaking one.
