Can't acess Hotkey and MouseAction Reference.

Hello,

I using Blender 2.49b with Windows Vista.
I use to be able to look up hot keys by selecting the help menu and selecting “Hotkey and MouseAction Reference”. Now though I get an error message.

      Error Python script error: check console

The console says:

Trackback <most recent call last>:
File “<string>”, line 1, in <module>
File “C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation.blender\scripts\hotkeys.py”
line 38
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character ‘\xe9’ in file C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender.blender\scripts\hotkeys.py
on line 38 but no encoding declared;
see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details.

I have tried uninstalling Blender and reinstalling it and I have tried shuting my pc down and restarting it.
I don’t know python language at all so if anyone has any ideas could you give them in lay mans terms please :yes:
