Bought an Archos 7 Home Tablet Yesterday and the screen is all in GERMAN how do I get it to display in ENGLISH I was not given the option to go to any setup mode date time and language were already set up in German please help

Click Start/Control Panel/Regional and Language Options.

First try to hold down the on/off button for about 15 seconds. If that does not work there is a hardware reset on the bottom of the device that can be accessed with a paperclip which will reset it.

if you are talking about the language on your computer click start control panel,regional and language options select regional language options from the drop down list select the language you want also from the bottom drop up list you can select your present location location or another language hope this helps

You can just replace the LCD screen itself if you want, assuming you have a set of micro tools and a bit of basic electronic repair skill.

Replacement screens are available online although they can be fairly expensive.

Here are a few links to replacement screens for your device currently available on EBay for about $59 US plus shipping:

This might be a problem.. Windows controls the actual display language (thats the dialog boxes, the windows and all the screen messages you see).

If you have a german copy of windows it might be just german. That means you might NOT be able to change the display language to english.

IF you have what's called windows MUI you might be able to change the display language.

Ask the guy or company you bought it from if they have windows CD's. You're likely going to need them. See if by any remote chance you DO have Windows XP MUI (stands for multi user interface)

It's unlikely you do, but at least ask.


There are options to change the language but it's usually not for the display it's for spelling or how dates and the like appear.
