Audacity Went Nuts!

Hi. I just downloaded Audacity today, and besides my microphone volume being too low everything else was ok.

However, when I exited and re-entered the program. I got this:

Of course, I tried to re-install the program but the problem didn't go away.

What should I do?

Thanks.

P.S: I'm sorry, I posted the thread on the wrong forum. The Audacity version is 1.2.6 and I'm using Windows XP.

Audacity 1.2.6.

I suppose you changed Language preference to a language for which your machine does not have fonts.

Two possibilities:

1. Delete Audacity 1.2.6 configuration Registry entries.
(Is not there around a utility to do that ?)

OR

2. Choose second item in the main horizontal menu (Edit)
then last item in the vertical menu (Preferences)
(Perhaps Ctrl + P is a working shortuct for the above)
then sixth tab (which is third from the right) (Interface)
then there is number of checkboxes (leave alone) and a single selection box (Language) -- choose "English"in the list.
Then the right lower button ("OK")

Close or Audacity windows.
finito.
