I wasn’t sure where to post this question, but I really need help. I just bought this laptop from a rent-to-own place. It works fine, it’s Windows Vista and a Compaq lap top. Now when I go to certain websites or try to make a new hotmail account, it tries to sign me up as UK or the website thinks i’m from the UK! I am from Canada! Now I haven’t quite figured out Vista yet, but is there a setting I’m missing?
Thanks!
The only thing that I can think is that your DNS servers on your network connection are set to UK-based servers.
If it’s set to “obtain automatically” it should look at your IP address and find that you are in Canada, and load the servers for that location.
If not, I have no idea why. What is your ISP? What is your router set for DNS? What is your computer set for DNS?
I guess there are a lot of things that could cause this, but we would need more info to your setup to figure out why.
