Help please

I have vista on a PC, with the regional settings set to Pretoria.
Microsoft programmers are obviously morons, as every time I install an Epson printer and Vista uses it's built in drivers, it defaults to Dutch as the language of choice.

Is there any way to change this ?

Are you sure you didn't plug the printer in before running the installation CD (common problem) ? If so, go hunting for all the files that got copied onto the hdd

You've probably got the time set to Pretoria, lol.

Click start>control panel>regional and language options> Choose English South Africa, and for the location, choose South Africa> check the administrative tab as well to see if English South Africa is being used

Have MS fixed that yet?? On XP, if I set the zone to RSA, the keyboard gets screwed up and the " key gets switched.

Not sure. Are you sure it's not just your specific keyboard? I haven't noticed anything wrong with that key, in XP either

What exactly happens, how does it screw up?
