Language/region problems

[TMA]

Hi,

I live in Brazil, but I have everything on my computer installed in english.
XP, MSN Messenger and all the rest. I've got my regional settings set to
English (United States), location set to United States, languages and
non-unicode languages set to English (United States), default input language
set to English (United States) - United States-International ... EVERYTHING
is in english and location is set to US.

The problem is that when I installed MSN Messenger 6.0 it has all its ads in
portuguese. Whenver I click something that goes to a website, it goes to a
website in portuguese. How do I change that? Where does it identify the
country I'm really at?

Thanks in advance.

Greetings,

It "knows" because of the regional settings you have set in your .NET Passport. To change
them, go here:
