What version of Windows is this?
What is AppLocale?
Do the game really need different regional settings in order to install/run?
What exactly happens when you try to access Regional options? Does it simply not respond to your clicks, do you get a blank window, etc.

AppLocale

Need to run legacy (code-page based) applications on your Windows XP or Server 2003, but don't want to change the system locale? Here's a new utility that saves you a reboot: introducing the Microsoft AppLocale utility!

The Microsoft AppLocale (or Application Locale) utility is a temporary solution to these limitations caused by non-Unicode applications running on the Unicode (UTF-16) based Windows XP. AppLocale detects the language of the legacy application and simulates a corresponding system locale for code-page to/from Unicode conversions.

Uninstall AppLocale, reboot, and try opening Language and Regional Options again.

I'll check on this later when I get back to my shop. One of my systems there is running AppLocale for some Thai and Japanese programs I have.
