hi again
thanks for your instant help
but..
before i try the help you gave i found something may be this can make
things more clear to you
i found this sticker behind my laptop which says its a Windows XP Home
Russian 672.
now let me put my question in a different manner normally i can change
language used in menus and dialog boxs this way:
control panel>Regional and lanuguage options>languages>Language used
in menus in dialogs----drop down---choose language--ok
but in my computer this option of Language used in menus in dialogs--
drop down does'nt appears.
i dont know what should be done to get it changed to english,
otherwise i have this choice of typing in russian and english which i
guess proves that its a multilingual one
HELP PLEASE
thanks in anticipation
Urvashi
