Hi
I'm trying to reinstall xp he on my daughters pc.
However, when I boot from the original cd, the language is in Dutch (or
something!). I've tried 2 other original installation cd's from our other
pc's, but keep getting the same.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks
Steve

Windows XP is offered in distinct individual language versions.
You apparently acquired a Dutch version rather than an
English version.

Hi Carey

Thanks for your reply. I'm confused though - These are the original
installation cd's that I've used before, without any problems

Thanks
Steve

Open your BIOS and set the default language version to English.
