I had the same problem.  The solution is to have the English CD in the
disk drive *before* running the program.  I tried to put the CD in the
drive after starting the program and it doesn't work.

I didn't like having to insert the CD all the time.  So
the best solution (if you have the disk space) is to copy the CD to
a drive partition like I did.  If you don't have seperate drive
partitions then  you have to copy them to a directory and put a line
like the following in your autoexec.bat

"subst f: c:\talkcd"

Once the files are copied and the above change is made, then reboot.
Then run fritz5 and then click on "setup" and then "general config"
and then a dialog box appears where you can tell it which drive (f)
has the CD rom.
