Windows 7 boots in russian

Last response: in Windows 7

I just got a brand new HP pavilion dv7 laptop computer. When I booted it up for the first time it booted in a foreign language. I'm not even sure what the language is. It may be Russian. The keyboard has an alternate set of letters below the characters for the normal english keyboard.

I spent an hour on the phone with HP tech support and they are trying to tell me that I have to purchase the recovery discs to correct the problem.

Can anyone else help me with being able to fix this?

how about trying the recovery partition?

though that may also be in a foreign language--but wont hurt to look

press f11 when turning it on and see if it comes up in english
