Search results in German!

[takenthe5thamendment]

Boy - Am I pleased to see yers all again :D

I have a slight problem that is driving me bananas -

I am running Windows XP on my laptop. Dial up connection via AOL. When I open ie and do a search from the toolbar or straight from the address bar I get my results in German :yuk:

I have to load AOL on ie then do a search from their tools, it's a real pain in the neck.

Has anyone got any ideas??

Methinks this is what you need.........
Open ie
'click' on 'search'
a new pane opens up on left.
near the top is a small >> double arrow! click on that and a window opens to change search criterior.

hope that helps.

Thanks Gas Path, but I don't have the >> on the search pane.

Sometimes it will do a search with the results in English, but most of the time I have Deutsch :(

takenthe5th,
probably not the ideal fix. However, in pursuit of broadening your perceptual horizons, even opening up new avenues for technical and linguistic skills, why not ( if you haven't already) learn German?
On the downside, XP will probably be out-of-date by the time you're fluent.

Do you use Google ?

I had the same problem. Use www.google.co.uk directly or change your toolbar preferences to that.

It's even more fun when your spellchecker throws out the results in a foreign language! ;)

Nothing for it but to learn German, I guess.:O
