adhawkins Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Look in the control panel under 'International' or 'Regional Settings'. You've probably got the default locale set to be the US. Not at an XP machine right now, so can't check. If you still can't find it let me know. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_p Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Andy is right. Just go to Start-control panel - Regional and language options. Then just make sure that under the three tabs that appear that you set everything to English (United Kingdom). Then just double check nothing is set to US settings. I'm running XP Pro, so hopefully that should if it....also make sure you have all the Windows Updates, and Office Updates, as you know what Micorsoft is like for updates!!!! Hope this helps, Chris. Ps. Make sure the filewall is switch on too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
