converting windows xp from Japanese to english

1
My Son bought a toshiba laptop in Japan when he was teaching school over there, when he returned just recently to the Usa he wants to change the windows xp from Japanese to English. A person by the name of Cyberdyne answered a question and said he knew how.
Can he help me?? some advice I have seen says yes it can be done but you will still have a lot of driver problems and garbled text and advised buying a new laptop. However my son paid 2000 dollars for this one and he would like to save it.

Hi Russ. Click on this link to see what Cyberdyne suggested back in October. Post in that thread to bring it to the top of this forum. That way all the knowledge will be collected in one place. Thanks for joining the discussion.
