Brower language changed after DSL change

Here's a good one. I just switched to DSL from dial up. I have Windows XP and as
soon as I switched, my browser language changed from English to Spanish. Every time
I type in www.google.com it adds .mx and goes to the Mexico start up page. This
also happens on Firefox. Any ideas? I have checked all my tools/options/ language
and everything says English United States. I stumped my new ISP!They have no idea
what happened. Can someone else help me get the regular Google back??? Thanks!!!

No, I didn't load any software. We set up the dsl modem and I clicked on my browser
icon that I always used in dial-up and it came up google mexico instead of regular
google. I clicked on my firefox icon and the same thing happened. Once I search
for something, it comes up in English but my browsers are all in spanish. I haven't
loaded any software or changed anything since using dialup and switching to dsl.
Thanks for your help!

Homepage is www.google.com
This has everyone stumped! Everytime I type in
www.google.com, or click on the icon, it thinks about it and then adds the .mx and
away to mexico we go!
I have shut down the computer and restarted, I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox.
I have checked everything I can think of. Guess it is just one of those gliches!
Thanks for your time!
