damian 0 Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 whats going on in my life these days. Everything is out to get me. Recently Google turned on me. No matter what I do, I am unable to get good old www.google.com. I keep getting the Japanese google site, even if I click on "Google in English" on the bottom right. Besides the time zone setting, my computer has no idea that I am in Japan (or does it?) I am about to cry. How do I get to the English Google site??? Link to post Share on other sites

sunrise 0 Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 www.google.com will take you to the .jp site. Type in http://www.google.com/intl/en/ That will do it for you. Then bookmark it. Link to post Share on other sites

mikazooki 0 Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 make sure your cookies are set to on... it should then remember u are english. then there is also a preferences area where u can set your interface language, for tips and wot not, to elmer fudd. my mail program has turned on me yesterday it wouldnt reply, and today it won't check for messages. i spent 2 an' a half hours trying to remove components to do a clean install. it not working today is sapping my will to live.

enderzero 0 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Cookies allow you to use this forum there Rachael. But I prefer chocolate chip as well. Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I heard that the internet spiders crawling the internet eat the cookies - so if you want to get listed on the search engines then you have to get some cookies for their spiders. Any other computer questions just ask me. Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1 Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 I have trouble getting J google in the first place on my E machine. It refuses to go there sometimes, keeping me on the English version Link to post Share on other sites
