Seagate support

by Willy / April 15, 2013 11:12 PM PDT

I tried today with: www.seagate.com goes to webpage and then when I click on support it becomes a Russian version. I did nothing to my browser, so I wonder how others see this.

I see the translate from browser but that fails. The click on proper webpage is available for "language version" but this has never happened before what gives?

TIA -----Willy Happy

Willy, have you tried clearing your browser cache? I just tried www.seagate.com with Chrome, Firefox, and IE9, and in all 3 cases it worked for me in English, no sign of Russian. If it's not your browser cache, maybe you should boot to Safe Mode and check for viruses.

Tada! Grin

I use Chrome and when it repeatedly when to a Russian support website, I exit out. I later tried IE and it did OK. I then re-tried Chrome and it was correct. Go figure...

I *might* have accidently hit the language key selection, but that's a guess. The browser is OK now, but I'll keep an eye on it. As for any virus, etc., that isn't a problem with my PC, it's well protected, though it could happen. Scans came-up negative. I just posted the ? because I thought it odd and wondered if anyone else ran across this. thanks ----Willy Wink

Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer won't shut down properly. I use the menu button shutdown and the screen goes blank, but the system does not fully shut down. The only way to get it to shut down is to hold the physical power button down till it shuts down. Any suggestions?
