Audacity 1.2.x is now obsolete. Please use the current Audacity 2.1.x version.

The final version of Audacity for Windows 98/ME is the legacy 2.0.0 version.

I installed Audacity1.2.6 on Windows XP yesterday afternoon. It worked perfectly. Today when I switched it on all letters are appearing as"?", so that file for example appears as ???? and preferences is ???????????. How can I get the proper words back? Can anyone please help.
Thanks

To change the language use: Edit>Preferences - Edit is the second command in from top left, then Preferences is the bottom selection in the drop-down list.

Then you need the Interface tab, which is the third one in from the right.

Language is selected from the only drop-down list in the dialogue box - use this to change to English.
