Operating language of Windows 7.
Hi all. I'm in Belgium now and wish to buy a TouchSmart all-in-one PC. However, the default language setting of Windows 7 here is in Dutch. The shop keeper told me that when I start using the computer, I'll be given a choice for installation language. But how can I be sure that after I choose English for installation then the operation system will be entirely in English? Thank you for your reply.
This question was solved.

Hi,
You need Windows 7 Ultimate to be able to do this as shown in the following link.

Downgrading from windows 8.1 single language to windows 8
Hi, i want to downgrade my laptop pavilion g6 2231tx from windows 8.1 single language to windows 8 which came in default with my laptop.
My question: since my lappy came pre installed with the windows 8 (64bit) and then got upgraded. So if i refresh my pc via the recovery partition on my HDD will it revert back to win 8 or do i have to use the recovery discs i made and will i lose my entire data on C:
Reason : i am facing a lot of issues with my laptop recently specially while gaming i never faced any issues with gaming earlier when my lappy was running win 8 no lag or drop in fps as such but since i upgraded (which was against my will as microsoft one fine day decided to throw win 8.1 down on my face) . Some how was able to get the amd radeon switchable graphics back up and running but it seems it has no practical use over there as such
apart from that my computer has degraded in performance since i have upgraded i tried to use win 8.1 since the past 1 year just coz it had all my programming IDE loaded and removing it would just be all the more hassel but even those applications have started responding really slow now most just take up hell lot of load time.
my system specs are :
2.4 GHz Intel Core i3-3110M processor
4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM
AMD Radeon HD 7670M (1 GB DDR3 dedicated)
Looking forward to your early replies. thanks in advanceaakash_dhar
Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I am not going to try and talk you out of doing this -- you are the administrator.
You might be in for a rough ride regardless of which path you take back to Windows 8.
Standard Refresh removes your installed programs and your installed Browsers -- the security programs -- everything that is not "bare bones" -- and that assumes that it will work.
READ please and know what you are trying to do:
HP PCs - Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows8) - c03538721
The Recovery Partition may -- or may not -- still be in working order. The Upgrade to Windows 8.1 may have destroyed the Recovery Manager.
Before you do ANYTHING, please back up all your data to an external drive -- back up your most critical data to more than one place, perhaps to a USB drive or to Cloud >> somewhere so you can get to it.
What if your home made Recovery Disks do not work?
You might call HP and see if you can purchase a Recovery Set. Because you have a working computer right now, you might make the call BEFORE you take apart your Operating System.

Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to solve this probleme for 1 month now.
Problem :
I'm trying to install the 30 days trial Premiere Elements 9 on my system : Win XP SP3 - with Windows Installer 4.5 (enough RAM/Disk space etc...)
Each time, I double click on the " SET UP.EXE", the install stops just after the language choice window, finishing its process by showing a Windows Installer configuration window providing unuseful information like this (it is in French) :
"Windows ® Installer version 4.5.6001.22159
msiexec /Option <Paramètre requis> [Paramètre facultatif]
Options d'installation
</package | /i> <Produit.msi>
Installe ou configure un produit
/a <Produit.msi>

le réseau
/j<u|m> <produit.msi> [/t <Liste de transformations>]
[/g <ID de langue>]
Publie un produit - m pour tous les utilisateurs,
u pour l'utilisateur actuel
</uninstall | /x> <Produit.msi | Code produit>
Désinstalle le produit
[...ETC.............]"
The windows has a "OK" button : I click on it and then the installation stops here without any other message. Everytime.
I tried to resolve the problem by checking/modifying windows installer services process in Win XP, running Windows Clean up utilities, Ccleaner etc..
No way, still the same.
For information, Photoshop Elements 9 trial installation worked on my computer..
Please help if you can.

Hi
Does anyone know How to run twin monitors on a MacBook Pro operating on a Windows Server 2008 R2 ?I know this doesn't help you much, but, I think you have to see if your Mac pro does audio out via HDMI. I don't even know if mine does via DVI. I think it may have to do with the adapter. Try going into Audio MIDI and setting the digital out to multichannel
and using the toslink cable for now. Lemme see...apparently DVI does not carry audio at all. Hm. apparently monoprice could be helpful? If I understand what you're saying correctly: you want to take DVI and multichannel audio via the Toslink and have it all go out over HDMI, right? Whooo..... amazon...looks like it's about $100http://www.amazon.com/Audio-SPDIF-Toslink-Converter-Adapter/dp/B0015YYOQQ
just a shot in the dark
I'm probably wrong....or not

Firefox (latest and greatest) has been giving me synaptics scroll wheel errors. It has worked fine up until 3 days ago. I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit). Have tried it on other browsers, and works as it should. The last add-on i installed for Firefox was "Fox Filter" so my kids couldn't accidentally stumble onto sites of immoral tastes. I can't see why that would have any effect, but it was the last update/add-on i installed to the browser, but even then,.......it was working fine for a week and a half afterwards until now. Please help.
== This happened ==
A few times a week

You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
If you detect a faulty add-on, you should contact its author for support. You can also search for alternatives. Site filters are relatively common in the add-ons gallery: [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org]. -

I cannot get itunes to work/install on myPC. I am running windows 8 in a 64 bit machine. I also want to purchase books via itunes for my Nook. Are you deliberately excluding PC owners so we cannot use ituens on our computers???? I have selected a community but have no idea what community I should be working with. Can somone explai these communities to me? Also. you don't allow much time to go thru the sign up process. I had to start over SEVERAL times as you kept timing me out. Jesus...when people are signing up for the first time, we have no idea of the questions that will be asked. Give us a break and give us time to sign up. Not everone is disability free and able to go thru your process quickly...you are NOT user friendly. You should be for people who are wanting to join your community. I used to want an Apple product but now that I have had first hand experience with your web page, I think I will probably stay away from Apple products. VERY DISAPPOINTING

Assamese Language in Windows 8.1 Phones
Dear Microsoft,
Yes there is Bengali language in Windows 8.1 phones. But this Bengali language doesn't allow Assamese language to type. Specially for the difference of
ৰ and
ৱ.
Bengali language doesn't have
ৰ and ৱ.
Hence I request to include Assamese language also.
Regards-You will run into many problems as pagemaker is obsolete. It really only runs under win xp. Some people claim they can get it to run on windows 7, 8 but often run into problems when it comes to printing/pdf creation.
The other problem is that pagemaker will only support the first 255 characters in a font, which severely limits it's usefulness. There was a middle eastern version of pagemaker with special fonts, but I don't think it's still available.
I would look into Indesign, but research the language support before commiting to Indesign, as it may require some additional software, and or workarounds. Post your question in the Indesign forums.

Script to automate the display language on windows server
Hi,
I'm looking for a script which should change the windows display language from non-english to english (vizversa).
Here is the scenario:
On windows server 2008 R2 I have two language installed - Japanese and English with the help of MUI packs available on microsoft site. The native language of windows server 2008 R2 is Japanese. Consider there are 10 sys admins only knows
Japanese but not english. Similarly there are 10 sys admins knowing only English. I being english administrator, i should each time go to regional setting in the control panel and click on change display language to english. After
I finish my task I need to set back the language to japanese(native).
I'm looking for script which can auotmate this process.
Objective:
The script should automatical change the language to Japanese when I logoff from the system.
Here is the steps to reach "Change Display language" on windows server 2008
Go to control Panel > Category view (on right side top ) > System and Security > Clock ,Language and Region > Under “Regional Language” > Change display
language > Go to Tab “Keyboards and Languages” > Look for the dropdown menu “Choose a display language” and choose the appropriate language you prefer from the dropdown list
Kindly note this menu/option is available for Vista,Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. This option is also available on Windows XP/Server 2000/2003 provided the LIP/MUI is installed.
Thanks

Guys,
Forgive me, but I think you are making this far too complicated. Using a script to achieve this is, in my view the wrong tool, and a little dangerous. If your logoff script fails to run for any reason, 11 Japanese sysadmins will be waving Samurai swords
at you :-).
There is a single Group Policy setting that will do exactly what you want on Vista, W7, W2K8 & R2.
Create a new Group Policy object ("English_interface", for example.
Edit the new policy object
Drill down to "User Configuration, Policies, Administrative Templates, Control Panel, Regional and Language Options"
Pick the setting "Restricts the UI languages Windows should use for the selected user" and Enable it.
Drop down the "Restrict users to the following language" and pick "English"
Click "OK"
Link your new GPO somewhere in the OU hierarchy that contains the English user
If other (Japanese?) users are also in the same container, you can filter application of the GPO by security group so that the policy can only be read and applied by the English group.
That's all you need to do!
As a point of principle. I ALWAYS install my OS in US English then add languages, and set the locals to use their own language. This is because service packs and hotfixes invariably arrive for US English first, and some hot fixes are NEVER translated.
I'm just doing this for a single W7 build in English, to be deployed in 6 countries, with 7 different languages and 9 different keyboard layouts. Fun...
Come back if you need more help. I volunteer to visit and help if you want!

Change Keyboard Language in Windows Login page
Is there someone WHO can help with a solution to a multilanguage Windows 8.1 image i'm testing at the moment.
My problem is in the login window, where i can't find a solution to set the keyboard languge trough GPO or Registry.
I have tried to set the language in the registry:
HKEY_Users\.default\Keyboard LAyout\Preload: 1 = reg_sz to 00000406 (Danish language code), but this does not Work and then i have tried to set the same in S-1-5-18/19 and 20, but nothing helps.
The GPO for setting language inside Windows Works fine, but i really need to also get the login window to use the same language, as someone is using some special charater and they can't find them, when the login window is using United Kingdom keyboard and
not the local language.
I have search the net for a solution, but the only solution i can find, is to manually go in to the control panel > Region > Administrative > Copy Settings by choosing manually to use the same language with the "Welcome screen and system
accounts.
There most be someone else in the same situations, where they want this set Automatic, so i can use the multilanguage image around the World?
Really hope someone has the solution to this.... :-)
Additional information is that i have made the image by using DISM to integrate the language pack to both the boot.wim and the install.wim and have set the United kingdom to the default language.Hi,
First,it seems that we can customize a image (use the same language with the "Welcome screen and system accounts) to test it.
Meanwhile,I suggest you follow the link to check the result.

Changing language on Windows for Mac
Hi! I'm from Russia and I am going to buy Mac in Germany and Windows for it. Will it be possible to change the language of Windows to Russian from German??? Is it easy???
W7 Ultimate is the only version that lets you select the language. Here in Portugal if you purchase a computer the shop will change the language of W7, any version, from Portuguese to any other language.
They have extracted the utility from Ultimate and use that to do it.
Probably frowned upon by Microsoft but it works OK. I believe Microsft only let them sell the language of the country but this gets round it for the buyer.
