find apps. in spanish it will be most likely be aplicaciones
find settings could be Ajustes in Spanish

Make sure that your system is running Service Pack 1 before you install Service Pack 2.

Basic info can be found here: http://www.arapr.com/pdfs/Literatura%20Vista48.pdf
The D in 48D specifies the Spanish version of the Security System thus the manual is in Spanish and can be found here: http://www.systecalarm.com.br/manuais/novo/Vista48D.pdf
Based on comparisons, it appears the English version (48A) is identical and thus the English manual should help. It can be found here: http://www.securityservices.net.au/uploads/files/vista-48-user-manual.pdf

Hi tom

it all depends if you have the english version or spanish version or multi language.
if you have multi language one you would have to go through setup to set it as english you can do that by using the restore disk or by pressing f8 after restarting it while it reboots it should take you in to advanced boot menu

hope this helps

You will need to contact MS and ask them for a new CD or your computer vendor.. Beware of pirate software..

Check the settings in your printer program ... control panel - printer - select yours and look among the tabs for the solution to your problem

MAYBE, you have a Spanish print driver ... In that case, go to the manufacturer web site and find the English version.

You will need a spanish xp setup cd.

also it may be possible to convert xp into another language. with some
