Ben;
You can not change the language of Windows.
If you want Windows in English, you need to buy Windows in English.

Purchase and install the English version of Windows XP.
 
The module only for Japan locally. So that it don't have in English . Which
is SONY typeX media server series.
Anyway, thank you for your reply.

Good question.
But I doubt it would work since all the documentation says otherwise.
I will try it next week and see for myself.
 
Ok let me rephrase that... what happens if you try in install an english MUI
pack on top of a japanese XP?
 
You cant. The MUI can only be installed on an english version of Windows XP PRO as mentioned here:

Moreover, MUI's can only be acquired by VLK customers.
