Bit of a strange one this, something that a friend has asked me about (honestly!). This is his description:
I bought a cheap (£14) copy of XP PRO. It is a DELL OEM version in French which I have installed on a PC for my daughter in law. It will only install in French. It works fine but the French is a bit much, all the XP messages take a bit of working out so I am trying to turn it into English. I tried changing the Regional language settings but these just work at the application level and not at the raw system level. I have tried copying various DLL from C
WINDOWS\system32\en on my English PC to replace the French bits in C
WINDOWS\system32\fr but it did not work. It didn't even make the slightest difference. Not even an abend. I had to double check that I had actually changed the DLL files.
He's since got a pukka version of XP so this has become a bit of an academic exercise, but I was wondering if any of you clever guys & gals on this forum had any ideas?
Those
are actually a colon and back slash!
