Default Window in Danish (?)

I hope this is the right section to post this question to . . .

Somehow (I have NO idea how) the language on some of my windows (i.e., the
window that appears when you press control/alt/delete) got changed to what
looks like Danish (?). How do I change that back to English. It is not on
everything. I mainly notice it on the "close program" control/alt/delete
command.

Thanks in advance.

This usually happens when you install new software or a Windows Update in
the wrong language. Unfortunately there is no easy fix, wiping the system
and reinstalling Windows is usually the only way to repair the damage.

What do you mean by "wiping the system"? Would I have to reformat
my hard drive or merely re-install Windows?
I regularly update my Windows, but how in the world could it be
installed in the wrong language when I only operate in English?
The only new thing I can think of that I've installed is "ieSpell".
Could that have done it? Again, I would only knowingly do it in English.
Thanks for reading and answering my post. Thanks also for any
future help you may be able to give.

Either you got an update in Danish or some program (I don't know the one you
mentioned) you installed contained Danish files. You can either format the
C: partition (you lose anything on the partition that is not backed up) or
if you have room, you can install to a folder named other than Windows:

Once installed, you can delete the old Windows folder. Some info that you
might find handy:

I don't mean to be picky, but how would installing Windows into a new folder
help? Would not the "problem" still exist? I'm just trying to understand.

The system files are contained in the Windows folder. If you install the
system to (say) Win98, the system will then operate out of that folder and
not the Windows folder where the problem resides.

O.K. then. If files that Windows98 needs to operate are still in the old
windows folder, how will they know how to communicate with each other? I'm
just trying to understand what I will be doing before I do it. Don't want
to screw up my computer any worse.

Thanks.

When you reinstall the system, the system files will then be in the new
folder and the old system files in the Windows folder will no longer be
needed nor used.
