Posted June 16, 200816 yr This is really odd. I had to do a repair (In-place upgrade) install on a Dell Dimension 3000 running XP SP2. It was one of those systems that are supplied without an installation disc, so I made one using the Dimension's I386 folder and another Dell XP SP2 install disc for the rest of the stuff. The repair appeared to go fine. However, when I went to check that all the device drivers had re-installed OK, the My Computer Properties Hardware tab was not in English: It seems to be in one of the Scandinavian languages. So does the IE(6) Tools menu. There may be other places, but I haven't gone through everything yet. It occurs to me that this may have resulted from either a registry corruption during the repair process or from an incorrect dll having been picked up in the process. Does anyone have any clues as to where I might start looking? TIA -- John Thow an optimist is a guy/ that has never had/ much experience - certain maxims of archie Don Marquis.
