How do I change language settings to English?

I am a native English speaker living in Korea. I am currently using a borrowed laptop while mine is in the shop. It is running Korean Windows (XP, I think). When I downloaded Firefox, as far as I could tell, I had no options of language preferences. It automatically gave me the Korean version. I need English. Is there a way to change that setting? (of course, the menus are all in Korean, so I'm not even sure where to find "settings.") Or should I uninstall and start over with trying to download and English version?

Uninstalling the version you have is your best bet. Open the control panel, click on Add/Remove Programs, and select Mozilla Fireox, or Firefox.
After uninstalling Firefox, re-download it by visiting http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html.
Scroll down to the English (US) version, and click the download button (The one with the windows logo next to it)

I hope this helps.
