Okay both my disks where buggerd, and i managed to obtain a version of windows XP, but it is in duetch, is there anyway, once its installed to make it english? like a patch of some sort?No, and we don't help with bootleg software here. Sorry.Just because it's in a different language doesn't automatically make it bootleg.  I live in Germany and I have a computer that I BOUGHT here that was installed with german Windows XP.  As long as the registration key I use is the original AUTHENTIC one, I can install my english XP and use the german registration key.  It's not like he's trying to cheat Micro$oft out of their hard earned money.

But sorry stooge, there's no patch that I know of.No, a different language doesn't make it bootleg, "but I managed to obtain" and his past posts make me think it is. I would further bet the house that it is XP Pro. (I just feel lucky today.)

Congratulations, though, on being a "glass half FULL" guy.  

Ah, hehe, as you can see I'm new to the forum and I'm not FAMILIAR with the person in question here.

I just like to give people the benifit of the doubt before I start putting the boot to the arse Welcome Aboard and keep the boot handy...eventually you will develop a use for it.

 Probably SOONER rather than later.
