I run an Original english version of XP professionell.

During a visit to Thailand my laptop was used by a Thai person - so we installed 
Thai as a second language.

Later I uninstalled the Thai language - even disabled the "Advanced text service" 
in the Control Panel's System configuration window.
Nothing helps - I still end up with Thai.

Certain english websites and forms are shown in Thai.
Such as all Microsoft Support Webpages. 
Even when I change the setting on that site to english all headings and more is still 
in Thai. 
Also searches are returned in Thai.

Grateful for any suggestion

Wolf

I found a solution - de- and reinstalling all Unicodes and setting english instead of swedish seems to have solved it. At least for the moment - I think I tried that before so I hope it stays that way.

PS I heard that 35% of Americans don't know what language is spoken in England, so I can imagine what Swedish support can be like.

When I opened a form to book time for a car check-up there we go - the dates where in Thai again !! Then I went to IE to try the same and halleluja here was no Thai. So I dug into Firefox which is my default browser. And I found a solution within minutes on their support page. Under Tools/Options/Language settings - there I had Thai. Deleted it and now I am rid of it. So Windows wasn't the culprit for once.
