Change from Google.xx to Google.com
I'm living in Spain and few days back i had bought a new laptop from USA. I had installed Windows Vista on my new laptop. I would like to know that how can i change from google.xx to google.com? Now the problem is that, when i type www.google.com to use google, in order to perform a search and then it automatically changes to www.google.es. Any one have any idea about it? Please do help me out to resolve the above issue. Thanks.

Use a different Google webserver (e.g., adwords.google.co.uk, adwords.google.fr, adwords.google.de, adwords.google.es), If you get www.google.us that means your are getting the United States version on your web browser. If the problem remains, try using a different browser. Always use the most current version.

If you login as a Google user and set your preferences, they should stay the same no matter where you are. Here is the solution, for that you need to open your browser and type www.google.com/ncr and then you need to press your Enter key. After that you just need to close and reopen the web browser and need to point again to google.com. That's it and your job is done.

You also need to make sure, that you have enabled JavaScript on your browser. Also try to access your account from a different computer or network. You might want to clear your cache. According to me, Google tries to guess your whereabouts based on your IP and redirect you to a local page. If this is successful, the problem is probably caused by a configuration problem in your browser, operating system, or your network. Please check with your respective vendor, provider, or customer support.
