A system restore may be a little over the top at this point.. best to check
language set..

There's at least two places that need to be checked in Regional and
Language Options:

Regional Options page: this one is obvious as it's on the first page of
this control panel applet. The next one is a little more hidden...

Languages page: Click Details. In the middle section (Installed Services)
of the screen that appears, scroll down to Keyboard and select preferred
language here as well.

My keyboard is set to English too, but the options for English are many..
there is UK, US, English Canada, all kinds

When you get to the Regional/Languages window, you click on the Languages
tab and then the 'details' button.. there, you will find the options that I
have mentioned and many more..
