I got it around Dec 07 which I use it for my online Japanese class so I installed/added the Japanese language and everything was fine. But I one point it started making some of my programs only appear in Jap. which that being my first ever class I had no clue what it said. I don't know if this issue has a precise "order" of which programs to convert to Jap. I was through with the class around Feb maybe so ever since then it hasn't stopped no matter what I do. Yes I have gone back and "turned off" Jap. I have also been to the Advanced tab of the Regional and Language Options and unchecked the Jap box. That still did nothing. I have also been to the Dell Support live chat and I think we all know how that goes especially talking on the phone which I've also tried and still no luck.

So far the programs that I know that this has happened to are Norton Virus protector and HP printer(which i just hooked up yesterday). This is really frustrating cause now I don't now if I'm clicking on the right buttons on Norton so I don't even know if it's getting rid of any viruses I have. X'C

well heres an example of what is happening.(this is what I saw after turning on my laptop and what not.)

Probably at the time when you installed the program you had it set to japanese, and it has installed it as that language.... so you would have to uninstall the program and reinstall it again, and make sure it is english.

That is what i have done in the past with the same problem.
