Notepad saving English text as Chinese Characters

Effective with my new computer using Windows Vista, some of my saved chats
from Second Life have been saved in what appears to be Chinese characters. I
did find an issue with a workaround for the problem of EUDC being replaced by
a character in the Chinese MingLiU font, and have taken the steps recommended
there. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930276/en-us) I don't know yet if
this solves the problem for new chats.

What I can't find is any way to convert my saved text back to English. Is
there a way to recover this data? I've tried opening in Word, savng as ANSI
and as UTF-8, and nothing is working. Any suggestions?
