Windows Language...?

My family has used windows xp in Spanish (we are Argentines) since we had our first computer. Now, we've bought a new hard drive because our's had 36 GB and now we have 146, but since windows was installed when we got our computer, we don't have the window's cd so we used a cd of windows we downloaded. The thing is that this windows is in English. We know quite well the English language, but I wanted to know if there could be something (besides the different keyboard configuration, that I heard this can be changed) that could bother me in the future (and if there is some advice in having it in english). Also, I would be grateful if someone could told me how to switch the keyboard configuration.Windows Language...?
The language in which Windows speaks cannot be changed by any swtiches within Windows.



If you want Spanish-language version of Windows instead of English, you need to re-install it from Spanish XP Disk.



If you have valid license, you can probably contact your local Microsoft sales office or PC retailer or get installation CD from somebody else and use it with your license.



As far as keyboard goes, go to Control Panel -%26gt; Regional and Language Options -%26gt; Language -%26gt; Details. Then add %26quot;Spanish (Argentina)%26quot; input language and select key combination under 'Key Settings' that switches between layouts (Left Alt-Shiftt by default).



On the same screen, you may also want to select Spanish as default input language if you use it more often.
