European software

[Vidora]

If I were to buy software in Belgium or Holland (kids language-learning games), would it work on a U-S PC? I use windows XP if that helps.

 

[Praetor]

It probably would but couldnt tell you to be sure

 

[Vidora]

Bummer.
I suppose if I have enough time, I could e-mail the software developer and ask.

 

[Lorand]

I think it would work.
Only a few US programs won't run on a localized version of Windows.

 

[Person]

It will work most likely, unless you needed a forein keyboard to run it. and even at that you can do it, if you can remap the keyboard

US software runs on european too. if english is'nt the problem, the software is none for sure. i ordererd and downloadet some from us without any probs except more tax (austria)

keyboards

so the fact that keyboards are set up a litle differently (letters in different places) doesn't affect a program?

 

[charly]

well, some letters are changed. it's like during booting sequence when the keyboard layout is always US. you have to hit the keys like they are needet
z and y are switched, plus several others are placed or replaced. but it's not a problem at all.
