Problem with IE 6

[Mathieu Paquette]

Hi,

I've got a weird problem with IE 6 (version : 6.0.2800.1106CO, 128bit, SP1,
Q867801 and Q833989). When I click on VIEW, then ENCODING, on any webpage, I
get only :

Left-to-right document
Right-to-left-document

I have no other encoding options. That causes me problems when trying to
view a specific page on our Intranet, I get the following error :

Invalid xml file.

File URL: <url is censored, but it's the good one>
Line no: 1
Character: 40
File Position: 39
Source text: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="latin1"?>
Error Code: -1072896658
Description: System does not support the specified encoding.

I've looked on Google and Google groups, to no avail... I even checked in MS
Premier (my company pays for it)... Nothing. I tried under 2 different NT
profiles (it's under Win2k SP4 btw), nothing seems to work.

Thank you,

Mathieu

If this is happening on all profiles on that system, I suspect a registry
key or keys may be missing or damaged. See point #10 in the Resolution
section of this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=283807

It mentions HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage
Do you have lots and lots of entries there? Such as 10000, 10001, 10002,
etc.

They point to the appropriate *.nls files that should be in
C:\Windows\System32 So, also do a search for "*.nls" (no quotes) on your
system to see if those files are there.

Yeah, I got a ton of entries there. I even tried to export that registry key
from a working computer to this one, to no avail. I also have the nls files
on the HD.

Hmmm....well, this is about all I can think of right now -
