LimeWire switched to Norwegian!
 

Please Help!

I d/l the latest version of L/W for Windows and now everything is in Norwegian. I can't read it so I uninstalled it thru Control Panel Add/Remove Programs.

I rebooted and reinstalled it fresh (or so I thot). It is STILL in Norwegian.

Can anyone help me with this catch-22 problem?

Many thanks in advance

Cheers,

My guess is you've downloaded unknowingly from a norwegian site. I may be wrong. Look on the bright side - it could have been FRENCH.

(ever thought of learning norwegian - great for chatting up the birds but their beer is £8 a pint).

..and you've got a hole in your envelope now. I must be contageous.

I downloaded directly from LimeWire's site
 

The Norwegian language conversion (from English) was a direct consequence of a download from LimeWire's native site (downloading v 4.8.1).

I can't use LimeWire right now and I am sincerely needing some assistance with this.

C'mon - where are all of you L/W experts?

Cheers,

...not to imply that it doesn't go on Sunday mornings as well !!!

Thank you Ursula....
 

Ursula - thank you very much for your assistance. I did what you suggested and it worked fine.

Just for the record, the "Norwegian Conversion" happened several days after I d/l L/W 4.8.1 and it happened IN STAGES! The dialog boxes and other components of L/W "Norwegian-ized" in staggered steps. It was like some kind of weird Norwegian Virus attacking L/W! :)

Thanks again,

Just when you thought the iraqi's were the problem, along come the norwegians.

Cleaning lady: we've got big rats here. Massive white ones covered in fleece. And where is 'the land of milk and honey'?

Blaso:Sorry m8, just trying to help.

No worries
 

No worries there Fido - your jest did fall on deaf ears because I married and divorced a Norwegian woman - as a matter of fact we were married in Asker-Baerum, Norway.

Cheers to the Isle of Skye,
