For Win XP, replacing it with an english language version disc from another similar dv1000 might work or you would have to buy retail/oem win XP disc.

Dont know about the quickplay feature though. Or you could learn a few words of French just for the quickplay feature.

I have heard you can change the original language of Windows XP by installing a language package, which can be downloaded from the MS's website.

I'm just wondering whether there are any special Franch words printed on the keyboard...
