Converting Hebrew version of WindowsXP SP2 to English version

Hello,
I have Windows XP SP2 - Hebrew version, installed in my computer. The
original CD allows me to install only the Hebrew version.
Is there a way of converting the Hebrew version of WindowsXP SP2 to the
English version ?
Thanks
zsmi

RE: Converting Hebrew version of WindowsXP SP2 to English version

Hi Zsmi,
Unfortunatly it is not possible to change the language of your windows xp
o/s, there are existing WinXP Pro multilanguage versions but they have to be
bought as such and the base-o/s always needs to be english, on top of that
you then can install language packs of other languages. This is by the way a
product only available to organizations, you need a volume license for that.

Not sure if your system supports Vista but if it does, an upgrade to Vista
ultimate would be an option. Vista ultimate is multi-lingual, regardless of
the language you buy it in you can add languages for no charge via the
windows update afterwards.

Even if no practicle solution I hope this was of help to you

Greetings
Edwin

You cannot upgrade or convert from one language version of the OS to
another, so you'll have to purchase and use the full version of WinXP
(in whatever language you want) to perform a clean installation.
