Puzzling Publishing Problems – Windows Live Writer


I have been having the most bizarre problem with Windows Live Writer and WordPress recently that has stopped me from blogging at all. It seems I WLW has pampered me too much with all its bells and whistles which made blogging so easy, now that I am without it, it is more like a chore. It’s basically screwing up the formatting in posts ever since a few weeks back when an update was applied to WLW I believe, it does this:

I publish:

Title: test’s
Content: This is an example post with problem’s i am having with WLW.

It spits out:

Title: testrsquo;s
Content: pThis is an example post with problem’s i am having with WLW./p

Here is a link to the sample post: http://www.pixsoul.com.au/?p=287

I have tried re-installing WLW, WP, older versions of WP, different version OS’s with WLW, different blogs, themes etc…it seems to me to boil down to WLW. I’ve shot them off an email and hopefully they can remedy the problem shortly, or tell me if I am being a nOOb! I’ll post up progress when I receive it though.
