When I purchased my pc, Windows 98 delivered to me was in German (one nasty thing about purchasing
your pc in a german Speaking land !)
I wish to set thie language of the OS to English. How can I do it ? Do I have to
buy some upgrade / change kit ? Can I download some driver files from the internet and achieve the same ?
Please help. I do not wish to pay Microsoft more bucks to buy the new Windiows Kit again.

Please answer in detail if you have the solution.
 
To my knowledge i don't think you can change the language of your system, because all the DLLs are in german.
I suggest installing an english Win98SE with the serial number that you have on your german licence ... i think that could be legal ... but i'm not sure.
