Windows Language Support

[Guest]

Hi!

Some time back a Chinese friend of mine installed language support for
Chinese on my note-book. After that often special characters (like french
accents) used to appear as chinese characters. It annoyed me and yesterday I
found a way to uninstall language support, i.e. go to Regional Settings and
uncheck the box.

But ever since I have done that, several pages do not download properly on
Internet Explorer, including my Hotmail Inbox, it comes up without any
pictures and with plain text and there is a message in the status bar "error
on page" and I cannot click on anything.

This problem is with some other web-pages also. I assume it is due to my
uninstalling languages, because I was surfing normally when I did it but had
problems ever since restarting the computer. What can I do to correct it
without installing the languages back?

Thanks,

Saman.

Saman,

Just a thought, if you open IE > Tools > Internet Options > Languages > is
'English (en)' added to your language settings? If not, add it.

Thanks for the reply. I checked the options and british english was added,
but I also added english usa and english canada. Still no good! Most pages
download fine, I am just having problems with my Hotmail Inbox, which is what
I most need to use! It doesnt download properly and I can't click on the
links on it either. Can anyone help?
