Google en Espanol? WTF?

on topic much?


hosts file/

check hosts file. easiest way is to open up notepad and file--> open --> C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\hosts

note that there is no extension on the filename.

tell me what entries you have (if any) for google.

also - is this happening when going directly to Google or does it happen when using the search bar? (or both?)

do the usual cleaning of cookies.. trying of a different browser, etc.

lastly, since you're in socal, it's entirely possible that you're accessing via a provider that has relays south of the border, and your IP is getting mixed up in the process, and ultimately returning a non US ip range to google's side. If this is the case you'll have to contact google: Web Search Help Center

thats what i was suggesting

you did, but the answer isn't always as simple as trying a new IP... that's not always convenient, and is often slower, if you go through a proxy. the deeper issue in this case would be to find out why he's getting caught in that dragnet.. but checking the hosts file first (a common hijack point for active x scripts) takes seconds to rule out other issues before entering a long discussion with goggle tech support based on IP ranges.

Hmmm. Another thing worth noting is that I also switched from Time Warner Cable to AT&T "U-Verse which pretty much.....sucks.
