What display adapter?

Had this happen once to me when using hardware and drivers that could
support glass. Fixed by running "winstat aurora" from the Run box. After it
has run for a bit, press Esc to stop it. The press Ctrl+Shift+F9. If still
no glass, go to Personalize> Visual Appearance to open classic Appearance.
Re-select Windows Aero here and OK way back to desktop.
