Open Save As dialog boxes display text in a foreign language
When you open an application, say WordPad and attempt to save a document, the Save As dialogs prompt are in a different language than English. Or, only an underline and question mark will be seen. (_________?)
This happens if the file [file] is present in the System32 folder. To resolve the problem, rename the file [file] present in the [path] folder (for Windows 2000/XP systems) and [path] (for Windows 9x systems)
The above applies to the following products:
Microsoft Paint
Microsoft WordPad
Microsoft Image Composer
Microsoft MapPoint 2000
Adobe PhotoDeluxe
Corel Photo-Paint
