    You'll have to reinstall an English version of the OS onto it.

    Ah right, I had a guy come in with something similar. Most of his window menus, dialogues, and some control panels were in Dutch (or maybe German). I installed an English version over the current install (didn't want to format) but it made no difference. I told him to upgrade to an English version of IE6 to see if that would make any difference (IE does some tinkering with explorer too when you upgrade afaik).
    It's still mostly useable except that a few error messages come up in a crazy foreign tongue.

    I can't imagine what a nightmare chinese would be.
