What OS are you running on this? Can you confirm you have the font Lucida Console installed (that is the default font used if you haven't changed the results preview font)?

Thanks.

It looks like this is caused by the path variable being to long. Here is a fix for the issue where getting it under 2047 characters will fix the issue: http://superuser.com/questions/355594/windows-7s-path-and-environment-variables-are-corrupted/379173#379173
