    The language system on my friend's computer is screwed up for some reason. It looks like it has been changed to Arabic or something like that. The wireless internet menu now looks like this:

    I've checked his regional and language in his control panel and they are listed as English (United States). So there any other places that I have over looked. Thanks.

    That's arabic ... if you want I can translate. Arabic tech language is pretty funny :D

    Did you go thru the other tabs in the "regional and language options" in the control panel? Make sure everything there is defaulted to english. Uninstall support for "right to left languages" which includes arabic

    I can see that the title bar is still in english. What exactly is affected by the language change?
