Hi all, yesterday i reformatted my PC and installed a clean version of
Windows XP, and trust me i know how to install windows properly i've
done it many times before, i basically boot the disc (enabling read
from CD drive as first option from BIOS) and then install it and done.
Nothing went wrong and the installation is easy as. Just a problem,
during the installation it'll ask u to configure a few settings such as
date and language. I was busy and i click the "NEXT" option too fast
(because i've already been through the installation before) and i
skipped the bit when it asks you to choose your language and country. I
was suppose to choose English and New Zealand, but since i skipped it
the first option is "Arabic". After i installed Windows, surprisingly
it shows english, everything is english except a few files.

My problem is i wanna change the country and the language so that
everything is in proper english because some files still show Arabic,
but i can't do that. Here's a screenshot of wat i mean:

as you can see, it shows Arabic on some programs....

and i tried to change the language from Control Panel and it doesn't
work, it shows this problem.

Note: the problem is that i can't "APPLY" the settings, i changed
everything to english in every tab but when i click apply it shows the
administrator problem. It's got nothing to do with the Vista
Transformation Packs etc i'm using because the programs show english
perfectly and also my XP already shows some Arabic language when i
installed it, not after i install the programs.

by the way, i'm running Windows XP, not Vista. It may look like Vista
but it's only cuz i'm using Vista Transformation Pack 7 and Vista
Inspirat, which are programs that changes the appearance of Vista.

So yea i couldn't change the language, plz help me and i'm login as
Administrator by the way, i don't know why it doesn't work.

If i can't change the settings due to some random admin problem, can
someone tell me where to download the english language pack? Because i
don't wanna format XP again and since most files are in english i think
changing a few settings should settle the problem.
