Character set problem
I have a P4 Windows XP system (English, UK) with SP2.
Problem: In most - but not all - programs when I try to insert an accented letter 'e' (e-acute), an inverted N with an accent mark on top is displayed instead. I use a US keyboard, and the regional settings/language is set to English U.S. In IE, encoding is set to auto-select. I have tried different encoding settings, but to no avail. Any suggestions?

Character set problem
Hi
How are you trying to insert that character? Have you tried using Alt + 138 (Numeric Keypad)? -- Will Denny MS-MVP - Windows Shell/User Please reply to the News Groups "WinXPuserNL" wrote in message ...
