Hi,

I have XP Pro SP 2 installed on my laptop, the laptop was bought in
Japan, has Japanese language support installed (not MUI), I have set
internet options-language preferences to only include English, my
regional settings are set to the UK... and yet when I try to open the
novell website at www.novell.co.uk it redirects me to the Japanese
language version... hmm.

I'm going to delete my temp internet files from now, but in the mean
time I'd appreciate hearing anyones opinions on what might be causing
this.

Cheers.
Kenny.

I think the website initially was set to be viewed with the Japanese
characters. Try manually changing the language back to english on the
webpage itself. The language menu is the second link, which is right
after the My Account link. Try see if this helps at all.

Have you changed your local Internet Explorer settings for languages?
Tools - Options - Languages

It seems to be that the settings are set to Japanese first, then English,
but just wanted to make sure.
