In Internet Explorer, pages with special characters, such as letters with
accents when I visit French pages, cannot load correctly. The proper
characters are replaced by Cyrillic ones.
When I go to IE's Tool menu, under Tools|Internet Options|Fonts, the
Language Script is set to "Cyrillic". Every time I change the setting to
"Latin based" and click OK and then OK once more to close Internet Options,
nothing ever happens. Pages still load with Cyrillic characters. Upon
returning to the Language Script setting, I find it is back to "Cyrillic"
rather than "Latin based" as though it never saved my change at all.
Recently I discovered that whatever is causing this problem is also
affecting special characters within MS Office applications. For instance,
when I wrote a Word doc while the language is set to French, spell check will
mark the words that have accents as wrong and the suggested spellings have
those strange Cyrillic characters in the place of the proper French
characters.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling IE. Upon contacting my computer
manufacturer, I was advised to try uninstalling all MS Office apps and then
try changing the IE settings, since MS Office language settings can override
IE language settings. This did not work. When the problem first presented
itself, I ran System Restores repeatedly to no avail.
I have run virtually all anti-virus programs in search of possible
infections, such as Norton, McAfee, Computer Associates, Panda Software,
TrendMicro, and others, and have come up PRISTINE clear every single time.
I've had this problem for months, and can not find a solution anywhere.
Please help me!
