Hi,Check on the Operating System CD that you used. Does it come with a French language as it's default language?

You cannot change the Operating system Language, but you can add additional Language(s) to the operating system to support other Languages. If you want to install English OS you have to have English CD version to install or make the Operating system English."The Language of This Installation of Windows Differs from the One You Are Installing" Error Messagehttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;282089How To Add and Enable Additional Languages in Windowshttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/177561Installing XP MUI Language Pack Examplehttp://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/installing-xp-mui-language-pack-examplenass -- http://www.nasstec.co.uk
