One for the Windoze enthusiast!!

Hewlett Packard VL6; Pentium 2; 256Mbs Ram; W98SE.
Complete re-install after FDisk and re-partition to two drives. All installed OK and all programs working OK APART FROM FREECELL!!!! Have tried two further re-installs, deleting Freecell and re-installing, transferring the full Freecell application from a known working setup...... still the same problem, which is the title on the blue bar appears as a 'C' cedilla, followed by a 'U' with two grave accents above it followed by an inverted query, as in Spanish and finally a wide vertical bar. The 'egg-timer' just keeps running and it's not possible to initialise a new game.
Thought I'd seen most of the peculiaities of the dreaded Windows but this is something totally new!! Can anyone offer any explanation or (even better) a possible fix.
PS - I have tried SFC, with no improvement.
TIA
