Did anyone else buy Dell Computers through NeTech through the SPOT/TriG program at REMC?   I bought ours in August and am just getting around to setting them up.  They all appear to use French as an initial language.  Which is fine.  I’m not so Ameri-centric that I think English must be the default language (much less American English).  But the computer seems to think that it IS in English.  I set the region to Etats-Unis, the application and keyboard (“Clavier”) language to Anglais (Etats-Unis), along with the time zone, and click “Suivant.”  The software agreement that follows in in French.  The tag at the bottom right corner says “ENG” which tells me that it thinks it is in English.  When I hover over the ENG, I get an option to switch to FRA (which I am already in, obviously).  Does anyone know what to do?  Is there some obvious thing I am missing?  Do I have to hire a staff of Quebecois?  While I think it might be interesting to force all of my public access computer users to learn French, I’m hoping to find a way out.  Si’l vous plait aider.
