Welcome Denhyde.

Just wonder why you went to the Registry to do this. I would have just gone to "Keyboard" in Control Panel and changed the Language settings there. But I've hardly ever used XP - if that has anything to do with it.

P.S. How to install another language and keyboard layout in Windows XP (http://www.eduthink.com/winxpus_lang.htm)

Many Thanks Paul for your prompt and excellent reply.Like most things in life it's easy when you know how.It worked as you said.I had looked at all sorts of Help Guides over the last 10 days with no luck.Thanks again for your time.
