Why don't you ask a dealer? I think you'll need to buy it again in English to reinstall it, but ask first before u buy.

If the directions in the liink below are what you have tried . . . . Be really cheeky go into somewhere like PC world 'browsing for your new purchase' and get them to talk about settings and how to change them.

The short answer: Don't try to install one language version over another. If someone tells you that's possible, they don't know what they are talking about. What you need to do is purchase an English version of Vista. Back up your files to an external harddrive. Format the PC, then install the English version. Your Vista's Italian product key will not work on the English version, so please don't try to use your "friend's copy". :)

What adapters do I need for Europe

What adapters do I need for Europe?
I am going to Europe for almost 3 weeks, and it is vital that I have a way to plug in my laptop, Canon EOS Rebel T1i battery charger, and phone charger. I will be in London, France and Italy. Which adapters do I need to buy? Specifics would be great! I'm not so great with technology.... thanks!

You can buy them in the airport - adapters which can be turned round and used for all european countries!

don't buy them at the airport! they'll charge you twice as much! buy one in america before you leave. i think my dad bought mine at best buy!

Something like this would work: http://www.topmic.com/141-0703.html Helps convert power to the North American standards and it is an adapter so you don't need to buy an adapter and converter. It works all over the world, just swap the head. Its nice cause you just plug that into the wall then plug your device in. Instead of plugging in the adapter then converter then your device. Best of luck

How can I use and charge my Dell laptop abroad

How can I use and charge my Dell laptop abroad?
I have a a Dell Inspiron 1505 and will be traveling to Ireland and Italy for almost 3 weeks. I'd like to take it with me if possible, but was wondering about the power differences and what kind of convertor or adaptor I might need? I am sure that Dell will try to sell me something super expensive...would Ebay be a better solution here?

Power adapters for your laptop are sold through Circuit City, Office Depot, OfficeMax, Staples, Etc. From my extensive travel experience, the best adapters are sold by the vendor who sold you your laptop (Dell)
