Thanks, handrawn. Sorry, I didn't thank you in the previous post... yours and Gary's mentally merged in my noggin.
I can't change Windows to English without purchasing it and installing it. It was not an option when I bought the computer. If it had been, I definitely would have Windows in English.
Still, I don't get that I was always able to install the Xara software in English in the past on computers with Windows in Spanish. Nor that multiple languages are offered, but not English.
To me, it is either a glitch on Xara's end, or they have started a new policy since last March. In either case, it does not encourage me to upgrade in the future.
Again, thanks.
