Vonderjohn--

I'm not a techie type, but try this.

Go to Google. On the right of "Google" select preferences.

Check the language list and if this is the problem change Belgium to English.

Good luck.

I think they speak French in Belgium. Simply learn French and the problem will be solved!

Click this link ---> http://www.google.com/preferences to go directly to the Google "Preferences" page. There you can set a number of parameters for your Google options. You must have cookies enabled in order for your "Preferences" selections to "Take" and be remembered by your machine. If you still find yourself being redirected, it is likely your browser's search function has been hijacked by yuckware. If that's the case, we can help you get over it. Give setting your preferences a shot and let us know what happens. If you're still not getting what you want, we'll try to sort out and fix the difficulty.

... and Flemish and German as well - changing the preferences seems to be the easiest way.


You can bookmark, btw, the different country versions (I used that before I switched to the A2K toolbar.)

You can use this url directly if you want english, and don't like google's Immortal Cookies...

http://www.google.com/intl/en/

Note that the last slash is necessary, so don't forget it:)
