    I am borrowing a mate's laptop just now(which hasn't even a cam, which puts and end to my skype antics, but that is for another day), anyway, each site I go onto it keeps changing into German, which has just started doing in the last hour or so, but since I have had it, if I am copy and pasting something or what ever the words, when I right click are always in German, how do I change it in English or is it not possible as it was probably bought in the German speaking part of Switzerland?

    I tried changing it on the control panel etc and it says it is set on English already. But when I go to the wee icon on the top right where you can clear your history etc, it is still all in German

    Not sure if you can change the browser language without reinstalling the browser Monaco.

    I might be wrong though.

    Not really sure what a browser is, but if that is internet explorer or google chrome etc, then I am using google chrome

    Hit it quite firmly, but fairly, on the side. Right hand side is probably best. If that doesn`t work you`re on your own mate.


    BTW - aren`t you impressed how we can all read this stuff you`ve been posting in German ?
