    Hi Friends,

    I recently purchased an R61 with Vista Business.
    The specifications read that the OS setup was available in 4 languages (German/French/Italian/English).

    The initial installation was smooth, and I chose English as the language.

    Now it happened that I decided to check how the Factory Restore works (not much data/software installed now). So I pressed the ThinkVantage button at startup, intending to do a factory restore.

    The problem is this that the language of this Rescue and Recovery is German !

    Can anyone help me out, as to how can I set this to English ?

    Thanks in advance,
    AG

    "Language" in German is "Sprache" (ok, according to babelfish)

    English is "Englisch" :rolleyes:

    Thanks hugetim,

    The problem is that there is no option to change the language when Rescue & Recovery starts during booting. :(

    Is there a way to change this, being logged in Windows ?

    Regards,
    AG

    Solved

    I did a 'Restore to Factory' using the recovery discs I had created, and chose the Installation Language as English.

    So the language of Rescue & Recovery (at boot time) depends on the Language chosen while installing Vista.
