if the whole OS is spanish then you have to reinstall the OS with english settings.

if it's just the keyboard go here...

unless you have the special MUI 6 CDs, you'll have to reinstall the OS so the whole thing shows english.

but if it's just the keyboard...

1) start
2) control pannel
3) regional settings

somewhere in there you'll find it.

No, it isnt new. We had to dump the OS and reinstall. Works like a charm. Only problem is it had an HD the size of a tic tac. I'll have to go on ebay and grab an 80 gig.
