Had this happen once. Rebooted the system and it went back to the way it was supposed to be.
But that probably didnt fix your problem.

Try going to the www.Lindows.com guest forum and ask someone there if they know how to fix it. There are some pretty smart cookies there. And no question seriously asked is a stuppid question.

edit /etc/lilo.conf, add 'lang=us' at append field like this

append="ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi nomce quiet dma vsync=60"

then re-run lilo
