Vista languge change

Post by eroticartist »

I have just bought a laptop with Vista Home Premium installed. However the language is in Italian. Went to control panel tried to change language to English but it does not work. Also the keyboard is not giving me the symbols and letters that I type. If I want a full colon for example I get >!
I did get online though! I can't type in URLS without the full colon.
I got to bgafd by typing BGAFD in Google.

I'm not sure you can Mike unless you have the Ultimate Edition.

Over to you folks.

Holy shit -you see what I did there? what a cracker!- you mean you can't decide your own language with Vista unless you have the Premium edition?

Confirmed - If you wish to change the language you must download a Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI). Unfortunately such is only supported by Vista Enterprise and Vista Ultimate, so as a Home Premium user there is nothing you can really do unless you are willing to either upgrade to Ultimate or purchase an English copy.
