wampserver2.0 php strangeness

[Radamanthas]

Hello all.

I just installed wampserver2.0 and created a test php file to test it out (test.php). The only thing in the file is this:

<?php
echo "Hello World";
?>

Here's the problem...when I navigate to http://localhost/test.php, the page displays a short line of what appears to be Japanese kanji (short enough, that I am assuming it is "Hello World" in kanji...)

Any of the other php pages (that came with the installation), such as myPHPAdmin, index.php, etc display fine...just pages I create are jibberish...

Anyone have any ideas?

TIA

EDIT: I have done no manual configuration of wampserver2.0 at all. Just running it out of the box.
