What happened to my desktop look?

[Al Dykes]

The desktop fonts & features have become less complex. The lines that

make the characters appear to be one pixel thick. Check boxes

disappear against the background. The cubes in Tetris have lost the

3D and have become simple colored squares,



The Aero transparency still works.



This is a recent Dell 1464 running W7/64 (aero) from the factory

image.



Suggestions?

One cannot really help without more information about what specs you are

running, what you have been running and what if any errors you are showing!!

Well, it went away. As I said, I use an external monitor. By

accident I hit the function key that toggles between laptop display,

external or both. When I toggled back to external-only everything got

pretty again.
