    I have set my computer to have Chinese unicode, but this has caused some ThinkVantage programs to appear in Chinese. I want them displayed in English. I know some programs allow me to adjust the User Interface Language, but not all of them allow me to do so. How can I make these programs into English without changing my unicode back to English.

    I have the same problem actually...I personally have no trouble reading Chinese, but most of my friends are white and apparently they don't seem to be able to read it. It's not as big of a problem since it mostly appear on programs they'll never touch, but I'm curious about how to solve this.

    Some programs and files need the Chinese unicode or it appears as gibberish.

    Funny how you say that as though you are surprised they can't read Mandarin. :)
