Harry, Try looking at TOOLS -- OPTIONS -- SEND (tab) -- INTERNATIONAL SETTINGS (button). Mine is set for Western European (ISO). You might also want to try repairing your installation (along with IE) Click START -- RUN -- CONTROL PANEL -- ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS. Scroll down to MS IE and double click it. On the next screen, select the option to REPAIR.
