Hi, My friends notebook is acting weird. Certain characters do not show up
when she types them instead someother strange character like some foriegn
language shows. This is in Word Pad and Notepad. All of the letters are fine
but the <, >, ?, ", &, ^,%, $, @ and a bunch of others are all jumbled up.
If anyone can tell me what is wrong here please let me know. Also, after
typing it up in notepad and trying to save it, I opened a file up again and
the characters were all replaced by little squares and boxes, even the
letters that were fine to begin with.

ANy Ideas?

Thanks in advance,

later,
