    My son has a Asus n53 laptop. Accidently during the first installation of Windows 7 he did not choose en-us language but local ( serbian ). He used to work on english display language. But he has legal Windows 7 home premium and the only way to change language is to make upgrade to windows ultimate or enterprise and it is a expensive solution :mad:

    I find on the net this:

    " you will have to get the appropriate “lp.cab”, i.e. from the Language Pack DVD. Then, type this in a command prompt as Administrator (change path and language code appropriately):

    dism /online /add-package /packagepath :D:\langpacks\en-us\lp.cab

    bcdedit /set {current} locale en-US

    bcdboot %WinDir% /l en-US

    After that, remove the registry folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MUI\UILanguages\de-DE.

    Reboot

    If you get this error: An error occured trying to open d:\en-us\langpacks\lp.cab Error:0×80070003. The System cannot find the path specified

    copy the lp.cab to C:\ (the root directory) and run dism from there.

    The command line shell must be run as Administrator."

    Did someone tried this or did someone have a better solution?

    Tap F9 at boot and recover the system to factory default settings. Would that bring the language menu back at first boot? I know it works on some laptops/windows installations but not all.
