Hi liberest,

I'm afraid you cannot change the language of your system for copyright reasons. Sony will not sell you the discs and discs from another Vaio will not work.

The only legal way is to purchase a new copy of XP - expensive solution!!

Thanks anyway man,

all the best

Before people again start kicking Sony for this...
Apparently it is related to Microsoft that this is not possible.
They only allow 1 language installation per serial number (OEM installation). Once a language is chosen, MS does not allow for it to be changed again.
