If you are using Windows XP (could beVista... but not certain)

Go to Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options:

Then go to the Language Tab, and under Text Service and Input Language, click on Details... be sure to select English under the Default Input Language. Click Apply to all windows and that should do it.
