You can only change the language of Vista if you have Vista Ultimate
or Enterprise.

With Ultimate, you can download the language packs for free.
Just open Windows Update, choose "view available updates",
and check the language pack you want.

Afterwards, from Control Panel (categories view), just choose
"Change display language" under "Clock, Language and Region".
Pick your language, log off, log on, and done.

If you have another version of Vista other than those two,
you'll need to purchase a "full English version" of Windows
Vista and perform a "clean install".

I did the same thing. Microsoft in thier pre-release literature stated that
you could have it display any language, so I bought it in Spanish (as we have
a home in spain). What they failed to say was that you have to have the more
expensive versions. I have tried to contact them through customer support,
but they cant even recognise my product number. I bought it from El Court
Englaise, a well respected chain of stores in spain, so microsoft are wrong.
Also note that a lot of my earlier software wont run on Vista, they never put
that in their literature. This is the last time I spend any money on
microsoft products. If you want my advice DO NOT BUY VISTA.
