Winsuck 7 Aero theme difficulties.

-----------------------------------

About 5 minutes ago my transparent theme became the ugly light blue solid color. Not too much of an issue, i looked into it and it appears that Aero craped itself argh, but again not too huge just annoying and something I don't really need but some aspects of Aero I enjoy. I checked the services (services.msc) and it claims that it is functioning normal. At this point it has become a personal issue... it HAS to work properly again lol. (No of course I'm not annoyed at windows, that's 100% improbable.)

I did a bit of quick research and it appears that some people fixed with this by using the restore feature, alas my restore point is eons ago....
Any ideas on an alternative?

p.s I am using the Aero theme but its function and appearance matches win7 basic.

Did you try resetting the theme?
Perhaps try recovery?

Had you started any programs at the time it changed? Some programs can't handle Aero (generally because they're dumb) and Aero will cleverly disable itself so they can run.

No new programs were installed/running -  issue has also migrated into having no left boundary so some of my windows are now lost in some non existent display area.   This has now become a giant pain in the ass. Its weird though the desktop extends beyond the resolution at the top half of the screen on the left side like
