This is an odd one, Windows XP, not service packed yet, because of remored
problems with that.
Apparently Korean langauge added to computer, then removed.
Now the "/" is displayed as an odd W, cannot find actual example under
fonts.This occurs in explorer as well as start>run>cmd> command prompt
When under advanced appearance is slected from display properties, only 2
fonts are displayed in the font window that are readable in english, rest
is korean?, japanese? chinese?
In the fonts page all seems to be available in english
In regional and Language options the setting was english canada and switched
to english us, no good

Any ideas?

I think "rumoured" ones. Like if you install sp1, the W character comes
out as /

Would you run that by me again please, only this time
in English?

Check the toilet, could be w is having a slash.

Thanks for all the laughs, I'll talk a little slower.

The problem is when you look at the monitor or print, the root or " \ "
character is displayed and printed as a "W with a horizonal line through
it".

Examples
A printer test page printout of printer drivers will show
c:WwindowsWsystem32WspoolWdrivers...
note- the W has a horizonal line through it

If you go to a command prompt you will see the same thing
C:WDocuments and SettingsWRyker
the " \ " character is displayed and printed as a "W with a horizontal line
through it".

XP has not had service patch 1 applied, dial up service only available, so
will be slow to install and is rumored to cause some grief.

Apparently a visiting Korean added Keyboard language support when he visited
and then removed it when he left.

Since then the problem with the "\ "started

In the Display Properties>Appearance tab>advanced appearance is selected ,
If you choose Item::Active Title Bar, the only fonts are displayed in the
font window is Tahoma and 1 other that are readable in English, the rest
are Korean I suspect but not sure.

In regional and Language options the setting was English - Canada . This was
changed to switched
to English - United States to no avail. It was then returned to
English-Canada.

In the fonts folder all fonts are in english and readable

Any ideas

How about the Code page conversion tables?
When I've finished my soup I will try to find out what the heck those are..
But just for fun: what is selected for conversion tables at your Wuzzy-slash
comp?

It appears that text services are the culprit
