Interface Language Change?

I have a laptop that came preinstalled with Windows Vista Home Basic Simplified Chinese. I already know that Home Basic can't use MUI's, and I know that there is no English LIP (or so I think).

HOWEVER, if there IS an English LIP, where can I get it? Obviously Microsoft isn't giving me the key. If there isn't an English LIP, is there any other way to get the interface language changed?

If there isn't another solution I guess I will upgrade to Ultimate, and then download the MUI. But will MUI's completely change the default system language?

Sorry for so many questions, but I'm really desperate!

You can use Vistalizator to change interface's language. Take a look here Vistalizator - change display language in Vista Home and Business
Give it a try
And not all MUIs change ALL the interface language, something will stiil be in another language, for example i had a Vista in Russian, but not all was translated in Russian, some things (very few) were in English.
Hope this helps

yeah thanks! :D

I'm gonna try your method. But... Remember how I mentioned that I have Vista Home Basic? MUIs will never work on Home Basic anyway.

This program is EXACTLY for Home versions (including basic!). It will work, trust me, i already tried it to change from english to russian the pc i mentioned above
If you were saying that "normally" MUIs won't work on Hombe Basic, that's right
But with vistalizator it works with Basic, like it says in the site:
"Try Vistalizator - this tool allows you to change display language in Vista editions other than (officially supported) Ultimate, like Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium and Business."
