Hi,
Downloaded vistalizator and tried to install it in English, currently running Home Premium in Spanish.
When I try installing it gives the error that I have the maximum number of languages installed.
Does anybody know why?
Thanks

no it's npt legal, because language pack existing only for windows ultime, and for other versions you cant buy it. i the thing is that this language pack is relized for vista ultimate.
