This problem is usually because the vista theme is not checked. If you have tried Personalization settings or tried right clicking on the taskbar and nothing works then this Microsoft website can help. http://support.microsoft.com/mats/aero_effects_not_working/en-us Just click Run Now on the right hand side and this program solves all of the Aero troubleshooting that the computer might have. you can also try typing "Windows Aero Glass visual effects are not working or displayed" in any search website and go from there. I hope this helps anybody that needs it.

It has probably been put in the "Classic" mode which is Windows way of digressing to the previous version. Vista would digress to XP(as does Version 7, also.)
