Reinstall XP Home in another language

I bought a computer with a Dutch version of Windows XP home. I know that the default language is not editable, so I bought a new English version of XP Home. When I tried to install it I got a warning message telling me that I could not install the new XP because it was older than the computer version. Both are Windows XP home edition 2002. The problem is caused by the fact that Service Pack 3 is installed in the computer? If so, Service Pack 3 safely removable without affecting existing files?

Hello

Looks like you are trying to install your new English language XP since within the existing Dutch XP.

You install your new version of XP to boot from the XP disc you bought and do a clean install of XP.

And SAVE all your data first, as the hard disk will be wiped.

You can also re-download all updates, including SP3, etc.

You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the order of startup and startup disk:

Save your data and do a clean install of XP.

  • Fields on several Internet sites have been changed in another language. The browser is set to English, and this problem does not occur with Chrome.

    Fields on several Internet sites have been changed in another language. The browser is set to English, and this problem does not occur with Chrome. Specifically, a large part of Tumblr and Facebook menu has been changed in another language (Russian, I think). I tried reinstall Firefox, clear the cache and reset firefox to its default state. None of them helped. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Hey again,

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

    More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

    I hope this helps!

  • Trying to reinstall XP Home Edition.

    I'm trying to reinstall XP Home, as my pc (F-Siemens Scalio 600i) was too old waste it contains. I made a backup of everything on an external hard drive, so I'm not worried about what anyone on this subject. I have read all the articals on the removal of IE v.8 and followed your advice here. IM using another pc for this link and to be reinstalled.

    I loked in the Remove programs to remove IE 8, but it is not listed with a button Delete. I appealed, editing the registry and removed all associated I thought internet Explorer and now nothing works properly.

    The pc is slow in operation no matter what I choose to do. I am trying to format the hard disk that has been upgraded 12 months in 250 GB sata and it works well. But some items do not work properly and I discovered that a lot of files of operation are missing. I regularly update the latest of all my suppliers of software protection as I us this machine for my photography and music. I would like to have a reinstall while I can reload XP with all the missing files back in place. This should eliminate all the waste that has been collected over the years hoping to make it cleaner to work with.

    I'd appreciate help that this machine has now disappeared in less than half operating speed. I can't even go back to the running system restore.

    If you have the recovery cd, boot from it and follow the instructions for a destructive installation.

    If you have a winxp cd real http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html

    The fuji site, specific to your model would probably have also instructions.

    NB a clean installation will delete everything, so I hope that you have all your App cd or installation files to the outside, as well as the necessary keys

  • How can I reinstall Vista Home Premium?

    I want to reinstall Vista Home premium in my lobtop. Help me please

    Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Windows 7 changes the language automatically in another language

    Hello

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop. I chose traditional Chinese (Hong Kong) as the default language for Windows. But somehow the windows changed to another language (probably Portuguese) after system reboot later. I applied all available Windows Update, so I don't know if it updates is causing this issue.
    When I restart windows, it will update my customization... and 30% higher (at the moment it's still traditional Chinese)... then the system will reboot and restart Windows and also continue to update customization of 30% (but at the moment, it has changed in an another language-Portuguese).

    This I make no choice since I use no ultimate or higher version, I can't download the MUI language pack and go back to my traditional Chinese. I need to recover the windows and cause all my files/document deleted.

    Are there ways to fix the language of the interface of Windows 7 Home Premium? Thank you

    My brother tried to restart his g500s Lenovo with Windows 7. But with negligence, he forgot to make a backup of the Windows 8 Windows Home Basic only language that came before installed.the embedded product key is supposed to work if I have the correct version of the operating system. But I don't know where to find this version.

    Please if someone could help

    Hello

    It's what you essentially have is a new installation or resumption of the plant and because your a single key is damaged, your only option would be to buy the discs or USB Drive Lenovo's.

    I don't think they said have you need a new license, you do not have.

    What you need are the disks that will essentially perform the function of a key...

    It varies depending on the manufacturer, but the game runs normally around US $20...

    However, it is not a new license. A new license would be a lot more money...

    He's using you current license... just reinstall your original configuration.

    When I type a Web site, it returns on the site, but in another language. For example:

    If I type: 'www.google.com', in return he takes me to the "www.google.com/pr", which is in Spanish.

    If I don't want to go, I just type.

    Can it be disabled?

    Hi, it only happens to google or another site too?

    If your life in "Puerto Rico", it takes to google.com.pr, because services based on google always go with location.

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

  • Conversion from seconds to a date in another language

    Hi all

    I am currently working on an application that uses web services to fill a web user interface.  One of the outputs is a time that is generated using the LabVIEW method 'get time in seconds'.  Do as this, I convert the value to double precision float and send it to the host (on request).  On the side of the host, I use Javascript to fill in a text box with the current measurement date and time.  To do this, I use the followign code

    var dateobj = new Date(1904,1,1);
    
    /* The variable 'time' should be the seconds since
     * midnight 1 Jan 1904 of the current measurement.
     */
    var measTime = dateobj.setSeconds(time);
    

    When I do this, what I find is that the time is in fact a month off the coast.  I can fix this by changing the date of the creation of my "dateobj" on December 1, 1903.  Someone has seen this before, possibly in another language?  It is not beyond the realm of reason that I do something wrong, but I can't seem to get it right now that.

    Thanks, Matt

    OK... it is pretty lame, but proves to be a js problem and not a problem of LV.  Months are 0-based.  so... Jan is 0 js world.  Ugh... Detective Conan.  For those interested, here's an example:
