Thanks for the reply!

I checked the locales as you suggested, had EN(US), EN(South Africa) and
Afrikaans. To be on the safe side I just removed Afrikaans (just in case MS
got confused with Norwegian & Afrikaans ()

Restarted E2K3, cleared my IE cache etc, but the problem is still there. I
guess all that's left is the long lonely road to PSS.
