  • Go to the Control Panel

    Look at your Regional Settings.

    Select Blighty... and you should be fine.

    I'm guessing that when you re-installed Windows, you left the defaults for a USA machine. Try Start->Control Panel->Regional and Language Options the work through every option and choose English (United Kingdom)

    Yep, that's the problem. Too easy to default to Bill Gates' native language (and k/b settings) in Windows setup.
