Search results in German!

[takenthe5thamendment]

Boy - Am I pleased to see yers all again

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

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

...thinking outside the square..

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On the downside, XP will probably be out-of-date by the time you're fluent.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.
