Japanese characters on an Australian site????

Hi guys,

This one has me beat. I was on a site using a webcam and the instructions are coming up in characters that look Japanese! This is happening in Firefox and Internet Explorer so I assume it's some kind of global setting on my computer but I don't know what or where.

My region is set correctly and my language is English. I've tried changing the encoding with IE and then tried using FF only to discover it had the same problem.

Here is the direct address for the webcam: http://wphc-webcam.federalit.net/webcam.html

and the referring site: http://wphc-webcam.federalit.net/

It uses Java but I think mine is okay... not totally sure how to check the version(s).

Any ideas?? :confused

 

To see what version of Java you are using, if you are running XP (? you don't say) then:

Start> Control Panel> Add/Remove Programs and it should be listed in the window that pops up as Java. You should be running version 6 Update 3. If you are not then uninstall the version you have, run CCLeaner (both the cleaner and registry cleaner) then reboot and install the Java 6 Update 3 from here

If you are running Vista OS, let me know. I have that too.
