Change installation language
I friend of mine managed to choose the wrong Windows language version
when she booted her new laptop (with pre-installed Vista) the first
time. How does she fix that? Is there a way to change that, or does
she need to install Vista all over? And how does she do that when it
was preinstalled (does she need to buy a new Vista license, or)?

change motherboard, keep old installation of vista?
After installing vista on a 3 year old PC, I found that I need a newer video

driver for the old video card is missing some features.
The computer uses AGP video card. I hate to put more money into this
obsolete technology.
Now I'm thinking just replacing the motherboard with a newer one that uses
pci-e video card...
