It sounds like you've enabled the Chinese input method editor (IME). Press
"alt-shift" to make the problem go away.

For a more permanent solution, run "Regional and Language Options" from the
Windows Control Panel. Then, click on the second tab, click on "Details...",
and remove the Chinese keyboard from the list of keyboards.

Hello Badri,

It's possible that your default language got messed up in some way. If so,
you could try the next.

Open "Microsoft Windows Start menu", then "Programs", and highlight
"Microsoft Office Tools". Then click "Microsoft Office XP Language Settings".

There is a box where you can change your "default version of Microsoft
Office".

There you can change back to "English (U.S.)"

I hope this works out...

Regards, Wim
