Here is a strange one for you. I have a user here who has a problem with the text encoding in IE and Outlook. If he gets a message sent in HTML format or Opens a webpage that does not have a font specified in the code, it shows up like upside down characters and squares. If he changes his encoding in IE to Thai, it shows up normally. I have tried everything to fix this problem. Anyone know how to fix this or have you ever seen it before. If you need more detail, post a reply and I'll give you all the info I can.

I have seen weird things happen if IE has been hammered by a virus. IE is also susseptible to corruption if you tried to upgrade to a newer version and it hung during the install process. IE is pretty tied into the operating system so if it is corrupted it shows up in weird ways.

Try installing a newer version of IE if possible. If not try rolling it back to an older version.

try this:
open IE click on Tools\internet options, from general Tab click on Language, then add choose Thai and OK also move the Thai to the top.
