Screen has changed

[cyberbabe27]

My screen has suddenly changed, Everything aboove this page is grey and I cant get my favourites list (also grey) I am having to press shift and 2 to get @ in the taskbar at the bottom of the page there is a box with a cross over it, and when I run my mouse over it it says smart screen filter cannot check this website because the Microsoft online service is temporarily unavailable. Is this anything to do with the problem

Can you run System Restore to get things back to the way they were?

Having to use Shift+2 to use the @ symbol is almost certainly because the keyboard layout has reverted to the US instead of UK settings. This can be changed in Control Panel (though I don't currently have access to Vista to give you the actual applet to open, possibly Regional and Language Settings?).
