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.

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.
