Both graphics are in the lower right hand corner of the monitor. One graphic states “Set Default Language” followed by that message translated into 4 languages which is followed by 5 flag graphics. The graphic to the right of that states: English \> Francais \> Italiano \> Espanol \> Chinese (or Japanese) \> These graphics are always present. How I delete them? ---

Sounds like Monitor settings and not Computer settings. There should be menu buttons and up and down buttons that let you set the language. If you run into problems, monitors these days usually have a online manual or PDF download for this kind of stuff. ---

You should give the operating system definitely and the display model might help as well. I’ve never seen it for languages, but there are often buttons on the lower edge of monitors with display graphic settings if you press one. Have you turned your monitor off then on again? Have you rebooted the computer? ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > Sounds like Monitor settings and not Computer settings. > There should be menu buttons and up and down buttons that let you set the language. This. But to be more clear, this sounds like the options / menu button ON THE MONITOR ITSELF was pressed. So you should be checking the physical buttons on the monitor. I’m sure this is what W\_E meant, but the text of his message itself isn’t completely clear, and who wants confusion in tech support! ---

If it is the monitor, the easiest thing to do is turn off the monitor, then turn it back on. That should reset the menu. It could also be a leftover popup menu from a program. In that case, restarting your computer should get rid of it. ---

Cool, nice when the solution is fairly easy. ---

Some of them may have a utility that you can run from the PC that lets you fiddle with the monitor settings. My new(ish) LG has something called “OnScreen Control” for that purpose.
