Open Internet Explorer.
From the View menu select Encoding.
If Auto-Select has a checkmark beside it,  click Auto-Select to clear the
checkmark.
Go back to Encoding on the View menu, and click to select Unicode as
encoding language.  When Unicode is selected, you will see a dot next to it.

If this doesn't work, then disable third-party browser extensions in
Internet Explorer.  To do this, click Tools, Internet Options, Advanced.
Under Browsing, click to clear the box next to "Enable third-party browser
extensions."  Close Internet Explorer, then start it up again.

If this doesn't help, then try clean booting.  Something may be loading at
Startup that's causing your problem.
