Help needed-serious Windows XP problem!!

Hello everybody

I am hoping that someone here will be able to help me because the strangest thing has just happened.

I was halfway through installing Spybot Seek & Destroy when my computer crashed. After switching it off and restarting it I found the Windows desktop to consist of weird shapes and symbols instead of letters--instead of "Start" appearing in the bottom left I now have a question mark, a triangle, a tick, a cross and another triangle!! All the desktop icons remain however the writing below them is complete gobbledigook!! I am hoping that this is a simple problem that can be rectified, but at the moment I am having my doubts!

ANY ideas/help/suggestions would be gratefully received-many thanks.
