Changing Windows XP Language

frustratedsailor
I've just bought a new computer in Spain (which obviously is now in Spanish). How can I change XP to run in English? I didn't get a disc copy of XP with the PC so do I have to buy a new English copy?.

Converting "Dynamic" to "Basic" Hard Disk

hardwarecrazy
I recently moved to VISTA Home Premium from W2KS and moved two of my disks to the new system. Unfortunately VISTA Premium is not capable of detecting Dynamic type of Hard Disks-only Ultimate can. If I want to convert to Basic, VISTA warns me that I will loose all data in that process.

How to back Active Directory

dbgg1979
Hi, How do you backup / restore the Active Directory? I just want to get prepared for the possibility that something might go wrong with the Server. If possible, I want to keep a backup copy of the active directory so that I can just restore it in another server with minimal reconfiguring in the new server.

DVD burner problem.

bchilly
I recently bought a new desk for my computer that allowed to stand my pc on its side(which it was designed for for). Ever since I have done this DVD burning with nero is very slow. Before it burned about 3gigs in 10 or so minutes but now it takes 40 minutes! Anyone know why this is its painful having to wait so long.

Style change in Win2K

bchilly
On my school network kids are changing the appearance of their windows and task bars. Instead of the dreary grey they are changing the colour to lilac and so on. Account restrictions prevent you from accessing anything controlling like desktop properties, does anyone have any idea how they are doing this? Thanks.

Any problems with the Google Toolbar?

packman
Am just wondering if anyone's had any problems at all with the multi-iconed Google toolbar for Internet Explorer, that's widely available? I myself don't have the Google toolbar at present and am thinking of perhaps installing it.
