Windows 7 My Language keeps changing

[Alishibaz]

Hello. I am new to this forum and this is my first post.

I didn't want to start a new thread if this problem has already been discussed and someone has posted a solution.

So, I did a search for "Language Toolbar", but was unable to find any solution.

My problem is that my Language Toolbar offers the choices of "US, Canadian French & Canadian Multilingual Standard".

But about once an hour, for no discernable reason, it keeps switching my language from US to Canadian French. I have tried to use the Help system and I visited www.microsoft.com/windows to try and learn about this Language toolbar but I have no idea why it would do this.

Can anyone explain why it does this and how I can prevent it? I would like to use the US language at all times.
