star page only show weird letters, hieroglyfs and numbers

    I have just set up my WP site, i added a few pages like start, about us, contacts, and so on. I also added some text to each page. Every time ive done something i save and check in my usual browsers like FF, IE, Safari, Opera, etc. it went fine, i even tested a few themes it also went fine.
    Then suddenly when i am gonna check out the page from a browser i get a problem, the start page is only showing lots of rubbish as hieroglyfs, letters and numbers as it can look like when you try to open wrong file with notepad. All other pages looks as they should and i can click my self between them, but when i click on the start page this weird error shows up. If i change so that another page i.e. contacts gets to be the start page then the first startpage can be viewed and it looks allrigt, but then the “contacts” which is now start shows the same error.
    I have tried with different themes and the error is still there.
    So to me it seems that its not related to a special page or theme, but the address itself is the problem, for me the address is https://www.mydomain.se i have no sub folder for WP, its straight in the root.
    That should be alright i hope. I usually only use Drupal, html and a few web-cart platforms when i do my projects, but this time i wanted to give WP a go. I have never seen this error before, and firebug is to no help since the error don’t load any code to it.

    Sorry for a long first question, wanted to make sure i got it all in there.
    If anyone can give any pointers at what to look for or edit i will be most appreciated.

    Thank You
    Kind regards
    Peter

    Oh yeah, Didn’t really thought it was any use since the error wont show any code to look at. And i thought that if you have seen the problem before you probably know what to do without seeing the site, but i get your point.
    I also noticed when i browse from another computer(fresh cache)that i can hit the start-page for a first time, browse around, but the next time and all other times after that the start page is in error.
    And another note is that i don’t seem to be able to replicate the error on my laptop with FF, with IE and opera it shows, but my FF can still browse it easily.

    Your pages contain character encoding issues. Try re-saving every template file in your theme using a plain text editor such as NotePad.

    Yes i just saw that some none template files have got some problems with some of our swedish charachters ( ? ? ? ).
    I can try to do as you say, but the problem occurs with any template, not just the one im using right now. that means all templates have suddenly gone bad?

    OK. i think its fixed now. I realized that i activated supercache and some settings to it yesterday. When i revert those settings then it all seems to function as it should again.
    I never touched the template files yet since i came to think about this and wanted to try it before start fix all those files.

    The settings i reverted are these
    I took away “Use mod_rewrite to serve cache files. (Recommended)”
    And reverted it to “Use PHP to serve cache files.”

    I also disabled this option
    “Compress pages so they’re served more quickly to visitors. (Recommended)”

    I dont know yet which or if all the settings are the culprit, but now it works and thats the main goal.

    Thanks esmi for your time and input.

    Regards
    Peter

    My guess is that it was the “Compress pages” setting.
