When I open my home page some of the items (news, weather, etc) are in English and some are in a strange language. Also with the weather app, I have to enter my location the first time I check it. I know it has nothing to do with my computer because when I load a copy of my home page on my wife's computer the same thing occurs. I cannot use Internet Explorer because I cannot install that program since updates cannot be loaded on my machine.
