Title: "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB????????????" appears in webpages; gmail won't load.
Post by: Hopelesscase on June 05, 2007, 08:18:00 AM

Hey,

I've had a problem for the last few days. Most web pages load with "BBBBBBBBBBBBBB????????" (varying numbers of Bs and question marks) at the top of them, and some don't load properly at all (like Gmail - all I get is a load of random ASCII characters). What's going on? The problem occurs in both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

I use Windows XP. I've tried looking for spyware, adware and viruses and can't find anything that could be causing this. (I've used AVG, Avast! and Spyware Doctor).

Help!

Sean.

damaged font files? Wrong character encoding? have you tried Opera?

which microsoft office product are you using?
which version of internet explorer are you using?

there are several errors which can happen if the MS OFFICE  fonts list and file are damaged
and several ways to fix the problem,
can you do a repair installation of the microsoft office package that is installed, but you must have the installation discs to do that.
