Let me know what you get. I've done that, no dice. Yesterday, I first updated AVG and then went to M$ and updated Win10 to todays stand. Even though I used the US english language setting, nothing happened to the languages. Talked to a serviceman at a computer service, and he showed on the control panel the language setup screen that I may have to import the language package. OTOH, my machine does have the package. If I want the british english available, I have to import that package. Oh well, I have to do other jobs now, but after that I'll go to a friend that does nothing else but Windows. I'll let you know the continued advances. ----------- In a dec.31st 2015 message you replied: HG> I will however still use OS/2 on all other machines. You are a better user than I. I alwasy had problems with this darned command line stuff. I forgot to comment on that statement. There seems to be a misconception among some Windows users that OS/2 is a command line oriented system. That is wrong. OS/2 had a GUI already in v2.1 when I installed it 1993. That GUI grew better with Warp3 and improved again with Warp4 in 1996. Windows 286 didn't have a GUI interface, but looked like the PCTools interface, sort of a file manager where you could choose the program you wanted to run. It was named something like "Executive ....." IRC. The first Windows real GUI came with Windows v3.0. You see, I've used Windows since v1.03, until I became an OS/2 addict. 73 de Sam, OH0NC aka Holger --- þ MR/2 2.30 þ Want to own a small business?
