The strangest thing has just happened to my kids' '486 ......

Boot priority is set to A; C: and when a non-bootable floppy is left
in at bootup, the error message "Drive not ready or non-system disk"
etc etc appears in FRENCH.  This is new!  While I understand enough
French to get by on, I'd like it back in English.

Country code etc settings are fine, unaltered.  McAfee VirusScan gives
machine a clean bill of health.  No file on the entire machine
contains these French words.  It isn't a BIOS option either (AMI).

Any constructive suggestions will be welcome.
