Being a new PC user, I find myself in trouble in Japan because the language my computer uses is Japanese. Saving, Printing and so on are functions I need now and then, but since the instructions are given in Japanese I can only play lotery with the options I click on. And now, after having by mistake deleted a DVD, I thought I should look for help from Yahoo! Answers. My question (as neo-PC "freak") is: what do I need to buy, download, install, so that my computer speaks to me in English?

As far as I know, you need to install totally new Windows XP ‘English version’, which means you need to format your PC’s hard drive. It is hard to find English Windows XP in Japan, but I will give you a link for Japanese company offer PCs with English Windows XP, or you just buy Windows xp from them.
Wait for other answers before you go for this solution, maybe you will get what you want from other answers.

Control panel > Region and Language Options > Advanced. Reset the Uni-code language to what you want.
Note: This will reset the menus and all within the Windows program. It may NOT reset if menus within other programs you have added to the PC unless that program is written to use Uni-code menus.
