    Whenever i try to use Google it comes up in Japanese, i choose the option to use Google in English but it still searches Japanese pages.

    any ideas what i can do to change this?

    Stuey - try going into the 'Preferences' section and see what is set there. On my
    setup it has English as the main language and 'search pages of any language' is set.
    If you change your preferences remember to save them..

    Well, when I go onto Google from work it asks if I want to go onto French Google because the server we use is actually located in Paris..so I had to go thru finding the 'preferences' and fixing that.
    Glad to be of help..
