Lenovo had a glitch in their system while I've ordered my laptop and it looks like Spanish Windows 7 will be installed from the factory.
Assuming that all of its English features in Windows 7 will be converted to Spanish, is there a way to make it so there is no slight hint of Spanish in my system? It would be kind of silly to learn Spanish just because Lenovo made a bug in their system.. sigh.
Also, does anyone know if the Windows 7 COA sticker will say "Spanish" on it? I'm just curious about this one.
I bought a laptop in Paraguay, with Windows 7 Pro pre-installed. I thought this would be handy and it was cheap as chips so bought it. Little did I know changing the language from Spanish to English would be such a chore. Is there a simple trick I'm missing?
I can get by but it would be so much easier to have it all in English. For instance, I just tried to put my camera's SD card in to the slot and it came up with an error message that I couldn't even read!
So my friend bought this Compaq Mini CQ10 laptop/netbook over in spain, and bought it over to the UK.When he got it home and first time booted he noticed it was in Spanish, with Spanish keyboard.So my question is, can i change it from Spanish to English? its running Windows 7 Starter.
My HP TouchSmart 300 (December 09) PC, OE Win 7 Premium works only in "Spanish" as I purchased this PC in Mexico where I presently reside on a temporary basis for the winter. I do not speak Spanish.
I want to use the "Anytime Upgrade" to upgrade from Win 7 Premium to Win 7 Ultimate. Windows 7 Ultimate has 'English' language amongst it's multiple language possibilities.
Is there any reason why I should not be able to install the upgrade English language Windows 7 Ultimate over the HP OE Spanish language Windows 7 Premium?
I have a laptop that I am working on that is running windows 7 home premium and the language is set to Spanish. How do set the display language to english.
I am buying a new PC in Spain but want Windows 7 Home Premium in English, which does not seem to be available anywhere here. So my techie guy is downloading an English version (pirate???) and at same time buying a genuine Spanish version. He says he will then use the key code from the Spanish pack to validate the English version.
Is this possible, and could I encounter any problems later? How can I be 100% sure (before I leave the shop!) that I have a validated, genuine English version of Windows 7 that will continue to work indefinitely?
I downloaded the xp virtual machine (x86 Spanish), and when I try to install it says "the .CAB VXPVHD is damaged or cant be used. This may be a network error, a CD-ROM error, or a problem with this package".
I downloaded the file twice, with different managers, and both are wrong,
any suggestions?
may I install the english version, even when my RC is spanish?
I am planning on buying a computer that has Windows 7 on it. I have a lot of business data Microsoft Office 97, especially Excel 97. If I install Microsoft Office 97 onto Windows 7 will it work? if not, could I transition up by buying Microsoft Office 2003 and then going to Window 7.
I have a Gateway netbook pre-installed with Windows 7 Starter. In just 7 months it has got viruses and is full of error messages, not able to uninstall the programs causing this mess, and my web browser keeps redirecting me to alternate websites which I never typed on the address bar. I am sick and think about completely deleting the whole C disk from the Windows 7 (backup my files first) and try to replace Windows 7 with some type of free Linux OS. My netbook has no CD drive nor floppy disk drive, only USB drives. My questions are:
1. Can I really get rid of all the Windows 7 files already pre-installed?
2. Can I install and run Linux OS efficiently in my netbook?
3. How can I install Linux OS on my netbook from a USB flash drive?
After the most recent windows update, my .doc files now appear as .pdf when I click on the file, Adobe cannot open the file, as a quick fix, I save the file to my desktop as a .docx then open Word and open the document that way. What has to be done to make my .doc files able to open without these extra measures?
I am converting my 2.66 GHz Core II Duo machine from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7 Ultimate. When I loaded XP, during the installation process, Windows asked me to load RAID software from a floppy disk to enable the RAID and SATA ports on my Intel DQ965GF motherboard. Will Windows 7 need the same software loaded, or will it be able to access the SATA ports and/or have the RAID software driver built into the operating system? I have the latest driver/software update from Intel for the motherboard, but have not installed anything yet.
Vista created a subdirectory named Buford, and stored data from certain programs (e.g., Garmin MapSource waypoints/track files) in that sub directory. I cannot find this subdirectory in W7.
I had to reinstall my hard drive due to a nasty virus. I had Vista 32 business. I backed up all of my windows mail files using an online service. Presently I installed a windows 7 professional upgrade. I have restored my windows mail files to the desktop, but can not get them into windows live mail.
My girlfriend has a new-ish laptop that came with Windows 7 Home Premium, and recently it had some issues. The issues have got worse and it turned out to be a stuffed drive, out of warranty, its basically stuffed.I got a new HD and installed it, but when i went digging for the Windows disc that came with it i couldn't find it. Some googling tells me that this laptop does not come with any install discs (seriously, wtf?!) only some manuals and other paper work. There was however a recovery drive which i assume was a partition for re-installing windows and the rest of the included bloat ware. Without a Windows 7 disc we could not install it on the new drive, so i downloaded an ISO on my machine and created a DVD, but the idiot i am, i downloaded it in the wrong language. I didn't notice the NL at the end of the file, which im assuming is Netherlands? Please excuse my language ignorance if im wrong.I know downloading software is wrong, i dont need a lecture. I'm just not going to pay for another copy of Windows 7 because the scumbag laptop manufacturer wont even include a bloody install disc!I have the product key of course, luckily the sticker on the bottom of the laptop was still visible.Sure i could download another ISO, but being bad once is enough for me and our net is pretty slow.

Cant work out how to change the language setting on windows 7 as my brother selected the wrong country when he set it up and neither of us can speak german??
I am trying to convert my old VHS tapes to DVD at minimal expense. I have the Roxio Video Capture USB and the driver seems to be working correctly for this Capture device. Even though I have the Roxio Easy VHS to DVD software, I was unable to install the software as it kept getting hung up because I believe the software is too old. Instead I decided to use a free Golden Video software as the software to capture the videos through the Roxio Video Capture USB. The Golden Video software appears to be working fine but it only captures the audio but no video.
I do not have the original VHS camcorder, but am instead running the VHS tapes through a VHS/TV and am thinking that may be the issue.The coaxial cable is running from the back of the TV to a Radio Shack RF Modulator which then has the three video/audio cables (red, white and yellow) running from the back of this Radio Shack box into the same cables on the Roxio Capture USB which is then plugged into the computer.
I feel that this setup should work, but perhaps one cannot capture the video from a VHS/TV but must use a camcorder or a VCR (neither of which I have). I have not seen this addressed on the internet and am wondering if anyone knows if this setup is possible.
I have this brand new HP laptop with a pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. The problem is the language is "Italian" and I need to change it to english. I've read some articles on the net and it seems that I have to pay for an upgrade or buy the ultimate edition to have the english language pack. Guys is there a way to change the language without "paying" a cent? let's say a workaround or something.
