| | English Messenger, Chinese/ Japanese Games?! Help please... Heya I have a full windows live messenger 2008 running on my laptop, everything is in english apart from my games (and the advertisement bit at the bottom)?! It looks like some Chinese/ Japanese/ some Asian typing.. I opened my hotmail account when I was living in Hongkong could that be the issue? Its not a huge problem but would be nice to understand what's going on (and win some games!) Thanks for your help people  |

Greetings, This is because these features in Messenger are localized depending on the locale/country set in your Windows Live ID and not what language version of Messenger you're using (or Windows).
