php difficulties in Vista

[Defender_16]

I know, it's the last thing anyone want to hear; Def bitching about his new Vista system.

 

...but anyways I seem to be having a problem when using php based forums with my Vista Computer.

 

Whenever I type - ? - it comes out as - É -

 

I can still type the propler characters in any of my windows programs like notepad and copy them but it`s annoying.

 

< = '

> = .

? = É

/ = é

" = `` (only appears after hitting the button twice)

' = `` (only appears after hitting the button twice)

[ = ^^ (only appears after hitting the button twice)

] = ¸¸ (only appears after hitting the button twice)

{ = ^^ (only appears after hitting the button twice)

} = ¨¨ (only appears after hitting the button twice)

| = <

\ = >

 

Should I be contacting tech support for my machine or what?

Weird.. an issue with the language settings perhaps?

I have no idea. It only does it on Php based forums, nothing else.

 

EDIT: Testing....

{{[?/,.<>\|

 

Someone on another Forum suggested I check IE View - Encoding.

 

Turns out it was set for unicode or something? I dunno, it's working now though.

Double post for the agravation.

 

 

...ok it was working for Php based forums but now it's doing the exact same thing as before... but in my windows programs! I can't write stories like this!
