wingdings on control panel??? Help!

I am having a very strange problem. I somehow had a
search toolbar install itself on my computer and hijack
my homepage. I used "Add/Remove Programs" to uninstall it
and when I rebooted suddenly windows is dispaying the
screen fonts in what look like the "Wingdings" font. If I
leave it for a few minutes and hit refresh it changes
everything to a courier style font that is at least
readable, except the control panel --- it's still in
wingdings no matter what I do.

I did a "System Restore" and it didn't fix the problem.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
