Menu Option shows in Arabic text

[Guest Keith Rossi]

I've got a Pc that is showing the menu option "Set Program Access and

Defaults" in Arabic lettering. No Language packs have been installed on this

PC other than the standard XP install provides. Is there a way, aside from

reinstalling the OS to get this back? This PC has been running the latest

Symantec Corporate AV and we've detected no threats.

 

Any input would be helpful.
