SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario:
- You change the display language in Windows Vista.
- You log off from the computer when you are prompted to do this.
However, when you next log on to Windows Vista, some user interface (UI) items do not appear in the new display language that you specified. Instead, these items still appear in the original language.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because Windows Vista cannot update language settings for currently running processes. Therefore, all processes that are currently running when you update the display language continue to use the original display language. This includes system processes, such as Device Manager.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, restart the computer. After you restart the computer Windows Vista updates the UI items to reflect the new language setting.
