Hi !
My desktop is running Windows VISTA Business.
It is running an English language version and I wish to change the language
to French.
Is it really possible, or do I really need to upgrade my version to VISTA
Ultimate or VISTA Enterprise?
I wish it exists another way...

Help appreciated.
Regards
Nicolas

You have to do an English upgrade to Ultimate, then download the French.
Whatever language the computer came installed with, also has to be the
Upgrade language.

Unfortunately, it is not possible.

Take note of the what Nic and Mike said. I just want to add that you do not
have to change to the French language version to add French keyboard support
to the OS. You can have keyboards for many languages within the English
version.

Thanks to you all for your replies.
Unfotunately, my fears are confirmed...

Google "Change Vista Language", for example:

http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/0...basic-edition/

It's a long link. Just paste it back together if the program puts in a line
break. I haven't tried this, but it says you can install another interface
language in Vista Business, Home Premium and Home Basic versions.
