Aero Problem

[SpikeyBoiCahir]

Hi
A few days ago i was plaing a game wolfenstein. Everything was fine as usual. then suddenly the game froze. Completly surprised as this never happened before i turned the game off using the task manager. the screen flashed a few times and then i was on my desktop screen. what i saw was the bottom taskbar was like the one in windows 98. the old beige coloured ugly taskbar. i tought somthing went wrong so ill just put that back to normal. i went into the personalisation menu but when i wanted to select my theme.. there was none. the theme square where u choose your themes was blank. so i clicked on the transparency and other aero effects trouble shooter and all i got was that
the themes service is not working.......not fixed
Desktop window manager is disabled......detected

i saw alot of forum. tried force starting it and loads of other solutions but it didnt work

please help.
