Language settings problem
Hello,
I have been running into situations with people who have had the language changed in only one portion of their 98 OS. They are not sure what action they did to bring this about. For example, all MS "Warning" popups switched from English to Swedish. Although there are many locations where one can select different languages, such as Internet Tools in IE, Ctrl Pnl Regional Settings or Language Settings in Office2000, I am not clear where MS controls language settings for various Windows functions. Any and all feedback is appreciated. Thanks, Tom |

Windows 98 does not support multi language dialogues. The language settings
you refer to are actually keyboard/alphabet or spell checker/dictionary settings. It seems that some program files (such as DLLs) were replaced, probably by a new application that has been installed recently. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Tom" wrote in message ...

This occurs when a different language system's files are mixed with English
system files. This generally occurs by loading software written in a different language. Once this problem appears, the only way I know of fixing it is too scrub the partition and reinstall W98 clean. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP Windows 98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Tom" wrote in message ...
