compatibility of OS with NI

[Bale-suk]

Any body out there who could help me please.
We bought LabVIEW 7 Express and Installed in a Japanes OS. THe software we bought is an English one.
However, the MAX appeared in Japanese character.
What can we do to view MAX in english, in a computer with japanese OS. Are they compatible, an english LabView in Japanese OS computer?
Thank you for your help

Hi,

An English LabVIEW should be compatible in a Japanese OS. Does LabVIEW show up with Japanese characters on your machine?

Dear Ankita A.
Thanks for yor response.
Fortunately LabVIEW shows up in english during instalation and usage, however NI device CD that we bought together comes out in Japanese from the very begining during installation.
Even I tried to download NI-DAQ 7.2 from ni.com homepage, but it also appears in the same way as the one we bought.
I tried to contact a guy from the company here in japan. He gave me the following instruction
1. Open the Control Panel
2. Go to Regional and Language Options
3. In the first tab menu, change the first pull-down menu and change it
to
English.
4. Click Apply
5. Restart MAX
It works but it affect other software that I'm using in Japanese, because I have changed the default language as mentioned above.
If you k
now other means please let me know.
It is vague to me if it is impossible for NI-DAQ, while LabVIEW can be seen in English.
