Can you post a screen shot of what the screen looks like now? If this just happened, you might be able to use a system restore point to just before it began. If you don't know when it started, you might be able to use the System File Checker to correct the problem.

SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

you might have switched aero off that changes what you see.

Yep, without Aero enabled, you'll see the generic screen.

Ok, that is helpful. How can I tell if aero is enabled or not? Where do I go for this option?

Thanks very much.

Control panel > System > Advanced system settings > Advanced tab > Performance tab > Adjust for best appearance (make sure enable transparent glass) is checkmarked (see snip below)

Also you can right click on desk top > Personalize from the drop down menu and select an aero theme.
