Dell back up and recovery media, text in program not showing
Hello everyone,
I've had this windows 8 xps laptop for a short while and the dell back up & recovery media is bothering me constantly.
The problem is as following and I will add a screenshot to it as well so you understand it better.
I have never had a laptop before so when in the corner the blue clock symbol started showing I guessed it was part of the back up program, which through the dell support program I saw was to make a discimage backup. So I start the program but I see the buttons however no text, they are all replaced with codes such as IDS_HOME or IDS_DS_001 and so on.
So I was confused about it, at first had no idea if it was part of the program, so I went around online to see what it was. I couldn't find anyone with the problem!
If I for example clicked the IDS_HOME button the next menu for creating a back up only contained more coding and so I can't even see what is being said int he screen.
I checked the youtube video on how to make a backup and saw there that it had to contain normal text such as make a backup to usb or dvd, which in my screen shows as IDS_DS_004 and more numbered labels.
So what I tried was the following; I uninstalled the dell back up recovery software, rebooted and downloaded it fresh from the website of dell.
I installed it, rebooted but the same thing happens again! No text just code and numbers!
I don't know what to do at this point, I don't even know how to make a back up because of this because I can't read the menu.
I need someone to help me out on this, because making at least one back up is important at this point.
I have here a image on what it looks like because it sounds rather confusing;

Here is another screenshot of when it is trying to create a back up. But as you can see you can't read anything in it
