Is there any way to change a french installation of Windows XP Tablet Edition
to English? I tried changing the regional language settings to English and
some things converted but most did not, and windows itself is still french.

Is Re-installing windows my only option?

No. You would need to contact the manufacturer of your Tablet PC to see if
they would trade with you or sell you a French version.

What problems would arise should I try installing the english OS on the
French Tablet PC?

Many posts here have underscored the fact that the tablet versions of xp
and vista os' are specific to each device and intolerant to any "normal"
updates such as re-installations of other versions of the os... i.e. the
tablet extensions and utilities can't be added to the os by design and
the pen drivers are very machine specific and often hard to find.

As in the original response, check with the computer vendor as they will
have the path of least pain even if there is a price attached.

Sorry, I think I reversed the languages you wanted. You still would need to
go through the retail source of your Tablet PC to change/exchange the
language version for the Tablet. If they can supply you with the right one,
you would have the proper setup for your machine.
