recently i've noticed that when i view certain web pages, the apostrophes show as stange text, eg 'i'm' will look like 'i&$m'-any ideas? its not a virus or similar. i get the same thing when i edit myspace, all apostrophes and others such as hyphens or brackets look like text?. i assumed it was bad html but:confused:

    Which browser are you using? Assuming it is Internet Explorer, check that when you go to View > Encoding that Western European (ISO) is selected

    Also go into Control Panel
    - Regional Settings
    - Check Keyboard and lanuage settings are set to UK
    - Click on Advanced tab and make sure the unicode setting is set correctly.
    - Will require a reboot afterwards.

    Good luck

    Couldn't say without a closer look, but maybe a program you have recently installed??

    Hope you come good.
