AFAIK, the only way to change the language to English is to install an English version of XP.
Microsoft has the technology to add support for other languages to XP (Language Interface Packs and Multilanguage User Interface), but they only use this to add partial support for previously unsupported languages (e.g. Icelandic) to another base version (usually the English version!) and to use the English version as a base for a multilingual version. LIPs and MUI are hard to get hold of, too (you can't find them in shops or anything; you apparently need a corporate contract or something).
I suspect that Microsoft is making it hard to change the language of localised versions of Windows in order to prevent people from buying cheap copies of Windows abroad.

Sajátgép Congratulations, you've got a Hungarian version of Win XP.  Took me 2 seconds to find out. Ever hear about Google? As to your problem, I have no idea.
i never would of thought google, but i was kind of livid when i found out is was in a different language.
and the only way im really posting on this board right now is that i have win 98 installed on a seperate hard drive for emergency purposes
