TJ:Any idea how to reinstall Windows XP without a cd? Or a I386 file? I've just been given a German-language-loaded computer and I apparently have to reinstall XP to get it into Blighty-speak. I've got lovely genuine key numbers, but no bloody disk...

I've not dealt with that specific situation before.However I know it's sometimes possible to pull up an installation from local disk if the cab files are there. That may be worth looking into. I know it's a bit of a maze but microsoft's support site is worth checking out.

Nope.It doesn't seem to do a thing except tell me that the language is now 'Englisch (Grossbritannien)'
Unless the computer was also loaded with muisetup.exe (which it isn't as they only give it to large companies), it's not possibly to change the language the computer talks to you barring a reinstall.
Sucks balls, it really does.

Certainly did.That's how I found out about the I386 folder that's unfortunately missing...

I nearly switched it off with a hammer...Then I remembered the 'on' bit would be a mite tricky...

not sure if this helps?www.computerhaven.info/forum/tm.aspx?m=83599
