HELP, Korean to English in WIndows XP Laptop

[Capt Fiero]

Ok I read the forum topics and this doesnt really fit into any given subject.

Here is the deal. We are renting a room to a Korean fellow who has a pretty nice Samsung Laptop straight from Korea. It is running Windows XP Home Edition. We have a wireless Network at home so it was naturel for me to loan him a spare Wireless PCI Card. He asked if I could show him how to install it. Normally this would be a 2 second job at most. Until I sat down at the machine and realized I could not read a word of any of the little xx'/0 stuff on the screen. I tried to find my way through it with memory on what text pops up and what boxes mean what but that was a lost cause. He tried to interpret for me but being as his english is very poor and I dont know Korean that didnt work very well. Is there a simple way to change it to English and then get it back to Korean for him when I am done.

Somebody has got to know how to do this. Pleeeeeeeeeeease.

This might work, I'm not sure however:

Control Panel-->Regional and Language Options-->Languages Tab-->Details Button-->Default Input Language

If that doesn't work then:

Control Panel-->Regional and Language Options-->Advanced Tab-->Languages for Non-Unicode Programs

Change both to your specified language, of course

If this doesn't work, then most likely the solution would be a Korean-->English Dictionary, as I don't think there is any other way to fix this, especially considering that Microsoft sells different language versions of Windows XP.

If changing languages dosen't work, just tote the laptop next to your computer Instant english translation!
