I changed the language, but almost everything is still in spanish. Also it's set that I'm spelling everything wrong because I'm writing in english and it's set for spanish. Is there any way I can change it? Mad

Windows, Mac, Linux?

If Windows, did you install the English language pack?

Also, in the Control Panel make sure English is at the top of the list in the list of languages, and that you log out and back in.

Macs are a but easier in this regard, but also make sure you log out and in.

I know nothing about computers. I have to ask my dh what we have. The store installed it and I would guess they put spanish. Is there any way to change it?

I think I changed it to english in the control panel. Why do I have to log out and in and from where?

Windows needs you to do that because not all applications can switch to the new language right away. You can also just restart.
