Check the "Desktop Window Manager Session" service, that service responsible for Aero, if it's stopped - Aero goes down, if it's running, you get Aero with all it's glory.

Right-click 'Computer' on your desktop,
then click on 'properties', then 'Advanced system settings',
then in the new dialog that pops up in the 'Performance' section click the 'Settings' button and check 'Enable desktop composition' is ticked.
EDIT: Also bear in mind that if you set the shortcut properties under the 'Compatibility' tab to 'disable desktop composition' for any app you have ran, it could also cause the same effect.

Are you running 'uxstyle' by any chance? If so, does downloading the newest version help any?

I can't help feeling that UxStyle has something to do with it then, maybe reinstall it and see what happens.. I'm clutching at straws really and it isn't an ideal fix, but it has to be worth a shot just to narrow it down to the culprit.
If everything is fine after re-installing the newest version then uxstyles at fault I'd say IMO..

It looks like, umm... lack of bit depth? Can you fill your system specs, so that others (including me) can help you a bit easier... Oh and, what's the current display driver version do you use now?
