I got a computer for free but the whole thing is in Japanese! How do I change
it to English? it is running XP Pro.
 
Install English software, including an English version of Windows. Some
bargain, huh?

There is an English language package on the PC, I checked under the language
settings. But It will not let me change the default language to English.
 
That only changes Regional Settings and not the language of Windows.
If you need Windows in English, you need to buy Windows in English.
 
Can I use a legit English Version To simply repair the issue or is a clean
install required?

You cannot upgrade or convert from one language version of the OS
to another, so you'll have to purchase and use the full version of
WinXP (in whatever language you want) to perform a clean installation.
