    Vista Language Help

    Hi All,

    Just helped my mum to buy a new pc in portugal and was setting it up. I chose english in all the options as it booted for the first time, but it started in Portugues. I've tried changing the language in all th eplaces in the control pannel that i can find but no joy.
    Any ideas?

    Its Vista Home Premium, and I tried the advice on the MS pages, but that hasn't helped. Have also tried turning it off and on again.....

    The guy in th eshop said that we could change the language so I'm confused.

    Cam

    Looks like the guy in the shop lied.
    "Note The Display language section will only be visible if you have already installed a LIP or if your edition of Windows supports MUI. MUI packs are only available in Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows Vista Enterprise."

    So all the various options in Vista that allow you to change the language not only don't do anything on Home Premium, but they don't tell you that they do nothing either. All the settings are in English yet everything is in Portuguese, and nothing tells you that hasn't worked because you haven't shelled out an extra £250 for an upgarde to Ultimate.

    God I hate Microsoft.

    Re: Vista Language Help

    Does anyone have a couple of Ticks to help me to confirm this?


    Could someone with Vista Premium follow these instructions

    Do you get an option to select language? That entire part of the form is blank on this pc.
