Windows XP language problem

[chaoscreater]

Hi all, yesterday i reformatted my PC and installed a clean version of Windows XP, and trust me i know how to install windows properly i've done it many times before, i basically boot the disc (enabling read from CD drive as first option from BIOS) and then install it and done. Nothing went wrong and the installation is easy as. Just a problem, during the installation it'll ask u to configure a few settings such as date and language. I was busy and i click the "NEXT" option too fast (because i've already been through the installation before) and i skipped the bit when it asks you to choose your language and country. I was suppose to choose English and New Zealand, but since i skipped it the first option is "Arabic". After i installed Windows, surprisingly it shows english, everything is english except a few files.

My problem is i wanna change the country and the language so that everything is in proper english because some files still show Arabic, but i can't do that. Here's a screenshot of wat i mean:



as you can see, it shows Arabic on some programs....



and i tried to change the language from Control Panel and it doesn't work, it shows this problem.

by the way, i'm running Windows XP, not Vista. It may look like Vista but it's only cuz i'm using Vista Transformation Pack 7 and Vista Inspirat, which are programs that changes the appearance of Vista.

So yea i couldn't change the language, plz help me and i'm login as Administrator by the way, i don't know why it doesn't work.

If i can't change the settings due to some random admin problem, can someone tell me where to download the english language pack? Because i don't wanna format XP again and since most files are in english i think changing a few settings should settle the problem.

have you tried changing it in safe mode?

yea tried it and didn't work.

the problem is i can't "APPLY" the settings, i changed everything to english in every tab in the language option box, everything.

I can't apply the settings and it shows the administrator problem as shown in the screenshot, plz look at it carefully....
