Locale is Lying in Win2000!
This is a discussion about Locale is Lying in Win2000! in the Customization Tweaking category; I have no idea why this is happening, but. . . . On installing Win2000 i clearly specified system locale as United Kingdom (English) etc. On the Regional Options tab it clearly shows Locale as UK. Input locale is UK English.
I have no idea why this is happening, but....
On installing Win2000 i clearly specified system locale as United Kingdom (English) etc. On the Regional Options tab it clearly shows Locale as UK. Input locale is UK English.
Fine! But, on System Information the locale is stated as United States!!!
This has led to a few problems installing programs that expect to find UK settings (Quake II is an example). I've found a way around this with the help of another forum menber, but still...this is deeply puzzling.
Is there a registry trick i can use here?
The only thing i can think of is that i downloaded the games compatibility patch from the Microsoft support site which states that it will work only with US versions of software - but this shouldn't have affected my settings.
Any ideas?
