don't bump your thread twice in a day. if no one posts after a day or so, then give it a bump. also, you need to learn the art of "subtle". we really shouldn't help you after you've stated that you've downloaded windows illegally. you could at least say that you paid for an original and it was destroyed...that would kinda justify you a bit and someone might be a bit more inclined to help ya as for the language thing, i think you just need to try to download an english version. i'm not aware of any way to change the language in Windows, but i could be wrong. if i am, someone who knows will come along and correct me. good luck, barney. hope it gets figured out
