I've tried searching the boards but can't find something like this....
I'm running 3 Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium Machines all with the same hardware configuration and the basic Vista software as well as AVG 8 Free as the antivirus program and haven't had any problems on any of them.
But a week ago one of the machines started having a weird problem when trying to send out email from Windows Mail - it would come up with an message saying CHARACTER SET CONFLICT and ask if I wanted to send the message as is or as Unicode. And alot of the email that was coming in from online forms (I have a site where people input suggestions, comments, etc) were now showing up as attachments instead of just in the body itself.
I looked around and found that I needed to make sure the language encoding was set correctly in Windows Mail.
But when I went into the settings for Windows Mail to look or change the encoding, anywhere in the program where you have an option to change from Western to Unicode, etc...all those drop down boxes are all blank - General, Spelling, Read...all blank, no options.
I opened up IE7 and looked under VIEW-ENCODING and I only see Left to Right or Right to Left...no language options at all.
In the process of me trying to figure this out, I uninstalled AVG and then installed the Vista SP1, but none of that made any differece. I've reset the IE options to the way they were when the computer was new and nothing. I've searched this forum and found a registry add that would add the language back to the SPELLING option in Mail and even tried that..no dice.
Has anyone run into a similar problem? I really am at a loss?
Thanks,
