I have downloaded Windows Live Messenger 8.5 (the latest version) but i had to download it in spanish because for some reason, this laptop i'm on won't let me install the english version. It's really annoying. The spanish version is fine but i can't understand a thing, lol. 

Can someone please give me some easy to follow step by step instructions on how to change the language to english. I know how to download an english torrent for it but i've tried everything and the language is still spanish. Plz, someone help me.

You should be able to change WLM language by replacing msgslang.8.5.1302.1018.dll in C:\ Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\: you only have to find the english version of this file and paste it in that folder (rename the old one as backup).

Same thing with WLM 2009 Beta, but the filename is different: msgslang.14.0.5027.0908.dll.

Anyway I think it's better to unistall spanish version and fully reinstall the english one (after cleaning the registry) by using this standalone installer. ;)
