    Do you have any software installed that will change the way Windows looks?

    Richeh, if you had transparencies, you were probably using the nView software that comes with Geforce cards. If you enable it in the control panel, you can individualise your windows to different transparencies and selectively keep some of them opaque.

    As Monserrat suggested, do you have a GeForce graphics card and drivers? Have you been playing with the settings recently? Or have you just updated the drivers (either by downloading them, or through Windows Update). Have a look under your Display Properties anyway, somewhere in the Advanced section of the Settings tab.
