Ben;
You can not change the language of Windows.
If you want Windows in English, you need to buy Windows in English.

The MUI is available to Volume License and a few other programs.
It also is designed for the English version and the OP has Japanese.

And what would your method be to install this other language ? You would have to buy Windows XP in
another language to install it.

Good question.
But I doubt it would work since all the documentation says otherwise.
I will try it next week and see for myself.

You cant. The MUI can only be installed on an english version of Windows XP PRO as mentioned here:

http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/DrIntl/faqs/muifaq.mspx#MUIques5

Moreover, MUI's can only be acquired by VLK customers.
