I Bought A New Vaio With Operating System Interface Language In French.
Vista Home Premium. Because In France They Sell Only French O.s. Vista
(not Office, Vista Itself)

How Can I Change The Vista Interface (start Button-programs-menus)
Language From French To English?

Thank You.

Unless you have Vista Ultimate or Enterprise, you'd have to
purchase and install an English version of Vista. MUI (Multilingual
User Interface) packs are only available in Windows Vista Ultimate and
Windows Vista Enterprise.

Hi,

Options:

1) Upgrade to Ultimate using Anytime Upgrade, then you can install the
english language pack.

2) Purchase a full version copy of Vista Home in english and install it
cleanly.

3) Try this product: http://www.froggie.sk/ which I've seen recommended for
this issue, but have not tried myself so I can't vouch for it.

I believe you would have to purchase an English language version of Vista

I am afraid it cannot be done - unless you have Vista Ultimate (or Business
?),
But Sony may accept to send you an English copy of the OS.

Thank you for your valuable replies.

froggie.sk files did not help.

I am trying to get help from VAIO to see if they can supply me with
Vista Home Premium 32 bit English.

I have not seen a problem like this in any forum. So, I hope we can
solve it together.
