I don't think there are language packs. But it sounds like you were ripped off. . . how come they gave you a polish version ? Return it and complain, they have to give you what you paid for.

Lol, my polish friend gave it to me as he no longer needed it. So I have not been ripped off but if i get a different theme off the internet might that help?

Ah I see. Sorry, my bad. Still, I believe there is no language pack for Windows.

It seems to me I remember a screen coming up in XP, when I installed it, that gave me a choice of languages.
There is also, in Control Panel, a choice of regional and language options ( it's the plain globe icon).
Since the graphics in XP are standard, if you make note of them in the english version you should be able to find them in the polish one.
It's certainly worth a try.
