ME to XP not possible!!!

[like_putty_in..]

Got: ME in English. Want to: upgrade to XP in Danish. Compatibility test sez languages a problem thus not possible. What to do?

 

[KSoD]

Uninstall ME and install XP. Can use 2 Different languages of an operating system. Wont allow for an upgrade or such unless it ame language. Only option is to install only XP fresh.

Do you care about your programs and data?

 

[dumdum8684]

you could always install XP in english and then switch it to danish once you are done installing.

 

[like_putty_in..]

I do care about data, yes. it doesn't seem to be possible to switch languages. when I run the compatibility test beforehand, I get a message that says upgrade cannot be done becuz of different languages. are you saying I can choose languages when I do a clean install?

 

[ohGrFreak]

well, let me ask this: why was ME not installed in Danish in the first place?

 

[like_putty_in..]

good question freak. I bought my pc here in spain and with it got ME in spanish. wanted a language I master better so a friend put ME on instead, in english. then I bought XP in Denmark in danish (cuz I'm danish) . realize now, dont work!

If your format to XP you will lose all your data...
