Windows thinks i'm from britian

[THESANTINI]

my computer is doing all sorts of funky things, like when I try to go to www.aol.com it takes me to www.aol.co.uk and other things that it would obviously do when in England. not sure what to do, holla

Try in the control panel in classic view "region and language options"

brilliant and obvious, indeed.

this solves part of my problems.

when I use mozilla, it still wants to go to www.aol.co.uk rather than the .com

what gives here?

plugged those problems, thanks

now, I'd like to ask how can I get it to recognise the American shortcuts using shift?

e.g. I type shift quotations and get a question mark

I type shift asterisk and get a question mark


stupid british. i say we pour some tea over at boston, hurray!

Not sure what you're asking, but try clearing out your cache and history. CTRL + B brings up your bookmarks as a side panel.

BTW, I found your "stupid british" comment interesting given that you spelled "recognize" as "recognise" - - the latter being the British spelling.

lol, I was joking about the British. I like their system of replacing "z" with "s" it gives their literature a much nicer look.
