Vista - Lost Switch Between Windows and See-Through Title Bars

Hi,

I just upgraded from Win98SE to Vista and am having problems. I tried to
install Diablo II from Blizzard. It ran, but the graphics were scrambled. I
installed DirectX 10 from the microsoft website. Diablo still didn't work.
I uninstalled Diablo.

Now, the once see-through title bars on all the windows and the fancy
'switch between windows' view don't work. The title bars are opaque, and all
I see are icons for the windows when I try the 'switch between windows'
button. The icons do allow me to switch between windows.

How do I get back to the fancy desktop graphics stuff?

How do I get Diablo II to work on Vista?
