Every time I change internet pages, it changes the encoding on my computer from Hebrew to Western European. How can I stop this?

This may work. Go up to "tools" on your top menu. Click the bottom, internet options. On the "general" page, near the bottom is a button that says languages. Maybe you inadvertantly got changed......

Didn't work. The fonts are still an ugly sans serif.

Hmmmm.....don't know what to suggest. I'm pretty much a techno-ninny. Good luck.

Could you move this into News/Activism until we get this figured out? Maybe someone who knows what's going on will see it and help.

Have you added any new software lately?
Did you discover and then delete a weird file or program that didn't do anything?
Have you moved any files or directories around? Changed any of their names?

No. This seems to mostly affect FR. Other sites I look at come up normally, but Free Republic seems to always come up in this sans serif font. I went to nationstates and yahoo after I posted this and they were both alright.

Right click on a white space on the screen...choose encoding from the list...then choose Western European (ISO) from the next list.

That's what I've got on right now. It only looks "normal" (to me, anyways) when I've got Hebrew on there, but it keeps changing back whenever I change FR pages, whether I've got auto-select on or not. Today is the first time it's ever done that.

I'm at a loss on what could be wrong...you might want to ping Jim Robinson or John Robinson and ask them if they can help.

I have no idea. I have no experience with character encodings, etc.
To: WinOne4TheGipper
Switching from Hebrew.... hmmmm.... I believe you have a virus, most probably the FATWA32.EXE.

Why is it only affecting FR, then?

The more I thank about it, the more I think you're right. Can you reccomend a free online antivirus scanner?

Do a Google for AVG Anti Virus. It's free and very good. Also, don't forget spyware. Download Spybot Search and Destroy (also very findable via Google).
Another one to definitely use is CWShedder. CWS, or Cool Web Search is spyware that will hijack your browser. CWShredder will find it and kill it.

LOL! I thought I'd seen a virus alert for that, and that's why I fell for it. Thanks, though, because it appears I do have Bugbear.
