How can I change XP HOME to ENGLISH?

My computer is windows xp home in Dutch. I end up with obsolete updates and programs brought the model back to the factory settings. Try to install the latest Microsoft Update tool, I was prompted to install XP Service 3, at least. Tried to do so, and was told to first install XP Service pack 2 first. Tried to do this and has said/error msg could not do so because of the other language. So how can I change the language from Dutch to English?

Hey rickshaw.

Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community.

According the description of the problem you are facing problem with changing language operating system Windows XP from Dutch into English.

You must install the English language pack.

I advise you to review the eligibility criteria for the below mentioned link:

Windows XP has Language Interface Pack provides a version translated from the dialogs used more widely, menu items, and help content. You may be eligible for the same function of the XP license.

After you install the language pack, you will need to change the settings on your computer below:

a. in the menu start standard Windows XP, click Startand then click Control Panel.

In the start menu classic Windows XP, click Start, click settings, and then click Control Panel.

b. double-click regional and Language Options.

c. click the languages tab and then click details under "input languages and text Services.

d. click Add under "installed Services", and then click the language you want to add and the keyboard layout you want to use for that language.

e. to configure the settings for the Language bar, click language under "Preferences" bar
