Hello folks, whenever I open a document with notepad, the characters are items such as crosses, mailboxes, birds, diamonds squares, ying/yang, all really weird stuff, also when I open notepad to type O get the same thing. Does anyone have the cure? Thanks. If you choose to reply to my email you can. christianreiss@hotmail.com

your font is set to wingdings. Change the font to something like system or times roman or times new roman and you should be able to type normal characters

If you don't know how to change the font in Notepad, open Notepad and click on Format then on Font. You can choose the font from the drop-down boxes there.
