Some years ago - perhaps a little over 3 - I did some EndNote support that involved enabling Arabic on my machine. And afterwards, I never quite got rid of it. I tried to take it off by the recommended method and odd bits of the system would still display in Arabic - something to do with dates, and the tabs on the contacts list in Outlook, little things like that, which I could live with but were a bit annoying. I tried roaming through the registry looking for likely suspects but even though I made a few edits, things didn't improve.
Today I finally found the registry keys needed to sort it out.
Huzzah! etc
Should you ever have the same toruble, check everything under: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls
And of course the ControlSetNNN versions too.
It looks like the mess was caused by having more than one username on the machine: I probably installed Arabic as one user, uninstalled it as another, and mashed the registry as Admin.
