Hey, i just formatted my laptop and re-installed Windows XP professional. Well the prob is, that the cd i had was for some reason in russian, i mean the whole boot setup (the blue part of the installation), since i've done it a few times i knew where to do what and managed to get the windows installed as i thot that the rest wudnt be a prob but it wasnt meant to be.

Now my start menu and everything and anything u can think of are in russian. how can i resolve this prob? i need it to be english :(!!!:mad:
