ok, maybe this is simple! I just reinstall my xp with BLACK, if u kow what that is then u know!
Everything is ok, but i pull up msn today to get news and it is in Thai. Now i lived in thai for 5 years, and bought the computer there, but come on. Why does it do this and how, in very simple terms can i get it in English?

I'm not sure how MSN will decide which site you should be directed to for their services, but here's a few things that might affect it.

1. Langauage settings on your computer - are they English?
2. The location of either your ISP or your IP address.
3. The site you registered at. Have a look at http://www.msn.com/worldwide.aspx see if it offers any clues to resolve this for you.
3. Pick a site as your 'home' that s one of the English sites.

Your IP address shows that you are in Spain - is that correct?

The only way round it, that I can think of, is to go to another MSN site (use the link I gave you earlier) and save that site in your favourites.
