I feel dumb for not trying thru a hex editor and trying thru Notepad++

Alright. I'm running the SFC scan on my laptop now. I'll reply once it finishes.

BTW, how did you figure it was improperly-encoded HTML?

How do I fix that issue on my computer?

Would that also affect the command line application pkg2zip?
Also checking in Task Manager when the window opens responds a title that is " " (it's empty)

But that shouldn't stop it working, right?

I had thought the same, but all the Uniconde and non-Unicode fonts are installed.

If anyone is curious about the program I'm trying to use, the two programs are pkg2zip and a game called DUSTTALE

Some programs I'm trying to use that work on other computers won't work on this computer. Rather, they show a window full of gibberish text. Any solutions or help will be appreciated.
