Hi pat and welcome to the forum.

This link may be of assistance to you. This will of course only alter the Windows operating system language, not any Sony of other pre-installed programs.

You probably already have muisetup.exe on your computer either located at C:\Windows\mui or (less likely) C:\Windows\servicepackfiles/i386.

If you are unable to find it at neither of theses location try a Google as Microsoft are a wee bit touchy out linking download locations to a third party…..
