Inge Normally you should be able to install and run any english program on an non-english (e.g. german) OS. My layout software, my CAM software etc. in english run on a german W2k without any problems. The only strange thing is, you will get program dialogues with mixed language. In german, if it is a ressource from the OS, english, if it belongs to the software.
