Very bizarre PC problem
My works Laptop (a Dell Vostro 1510) had to be rebuilt due to getting inundated with spyware etc LOL
Anyway before I rebuilt it I noticed that mspaint dialogs where in a foreign language, but worked perfectly fine
However I have rebuilt it using the original Dell CD's and the official Dell Drivers, installed genuine Office products back on it, plus the specialist Wireless Software and tools I use (again all official genuine software)
I have noticed that mspaint is back in a foreign language again, yet absolutly everything else is english
Anyone any ideas

Copy the Mfc42loc.dll file from a computer where it works ok.
I can send one if you want but would need to fire up an old laptop, if you have one more handy, use that.
Sounds like Dells build has been built with language packs something has gone astray somewhere, probably in a service pack or update.

Cheers, will give that a try, we have a few other laptops that I can get the file from
Will let you know if it works
I know I shouldnt really use mspaint, but in my job I need to do quite a bit of copy and pasting images into word docs from another application
