    Just received my Aspire 8930 today &, like an idiot, during the OS setup, I accidentally hit the wrong language key. Ended up with a French language OS on the machine. Duuuuh. Does anyone know if this can be corrected ? I tried calling Acer tech support but of course by the time I realised my error they were closed for the day. Can anyone help ? TIA.

    u can change the language in the in vista. just go to control panel>regional and language options>keyboards and languages and change it to english. or at worst just do a reinstall of the whole OS again with the acer recovery by alt+F10 during bootup. since u just installed the OS u have nothing to lose by reinstalling it again :) good luck
