Change language "Nicolas Macarez" <macarez[ at ]free.fr> 10/7/2008 8:51:18 AM Hi ! My desktop is running Windows VISTA Business. It is running an English language version and I wish to change the language to French. Is it really possible, or do I really need to upgrade my version to VISTA Ultimate or VISTA Enterprise? I wish it exists another way... Help appreciated. Regards Nicolas

RE: Change language Mick Murphy 10/7/2008 9:57:02 AM You have to do an English upgrade to Ultimate, then download the French. Whatever language the computer came installed with, also has to be the Upgrade language. -- Mad Mike "Nicolas Macarez" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hi ! > My desktop is running Windows VISTA Business. > It is running an English language version and I wish to change the language > to French. > Is it really possible, or do I really need to upgrade my version to VISTA > Ultimate or VISTA Enterprise? > I wish it exists another way... > > Help appreciated. > Regards > Nicolas > > >

I just want to add that you do not have to change to the French language version to add French keyboard support to the OS. You can have keyboards for many languages within the English version. Saucy

Re: Change language "Earle Horton" <earleh[ at ]terra.comx> 10/7/2008 10:29:33 PM Google "Change Vista Language", for example: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/03/06/vista-sp1-multilingual-user-interface-mui-language-pack-install-tool-for-business-home-premium-and-basic-edition/ It's a long link. Just paste it back together if the program puts in a line break. I haven't tried this, but it says you can install another interface language in Vista Business, Home Premium and Home Basic versions. -- Earle Horton -- earleh[ at ]terra.comx "Nicolas Macarez" <macarez[ at ]free.fr> wrote in message news:e99iXdMKJHA.3412[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl...

Re: Change language "Earle Horton" <earleh[ at ]terra.comx> 10/8/2008 3:26:50 AM But I don't trust other people's AV and Malware, because they might not have any. Rather than get blamed for something, I posted a long link and warned people about it. Now if it was one of the Spanish language groups that I frequent, well not too many newbies dare venture in there... -- Earle Horton -- earleh[ at ]terra.comx "DDW" <dd.wright[ at ]KILLSPAMcomcast.net> wrote in message news:375oe49slgnaft3le25lc4aj8svnq8tscc[ at ]4ax.com...
