Hi Gary,
In case this doesn't work (which sets browser to assume pages are encoded to
UTF-8).
I suspect it is the Google Server (rather than browser) which thinks you want
German pages!! At the top right of the Google home page you will see either
"Search Settings" (or " Sucheinstellungen" if its gone german!!). Click this
and you get a page which lets you pick your language. Set both the spinner at
the top and the tick box to "Englisch".
Perhaps an even easier way is to delete all "cookies" for google.com. I don't
know how you do this in IE (I'm a Linux guy) but someone on here may know. Be
careful not to delete all cookies, just those for google. After doing this
google will default back to english.
One further thought, this URL may give you temporary respite till we work out
what's happening:-
<http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en>
or (if you iGoogle)
<http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en>
(the "?hl=en" in the URL overides the other settings).
Cheers
Deri
PS If you still have problems. take a screen shot of the germanic search page
and send it to my email address.
