I have installed the Chinese language pack and that was ok but even though I
have the keyboard set as English I get popups (legitimate) in Chinese. As I
have no idea how to read them I am quite frustrated. I also installed Hebrew
but it does not do any of those things.

Does anyone know how to make it stop? My first choice OR
How do I change the language to English if a popup does appear in Chinese?

Oh, this can happen to one popup screen when the previous screen came up in
English. Also I have done as recommended in other language questions just in
case it helps. T thought the language packs only allowed the various fonts to
be used not to take over on their own.

Windows version? Is it an English-language version of Windows?

IE version?

IE Tools | Internet Options | General | Languages | Language preferences: Is
English at the top of the list?

I am using XP SP2 and all updates current. IE 7. English language XP Pro.
English keyboard.

I installed asian and hebrew language packs as I needed font support.

One popup, legitimate popups not legitimate chinese, may comeup in English
the next in Chinese. This can happen as you are installing software or
anything else. This leaves me having to guess at which button to push (bad
idea but no other option). I also get odd Asian characters.

Sorry I did not get back sooner, the link I got returned a white page in
both IE and Firefox. I bookmarked it now.
