I'm having some troubles with the visual of my Windows 7. One day I turned my computer on, when everything started to look like Windows 98! My VGA is working, I can play my games as always. I tried to use AVG to find virus, but found nothing. Everything is alright, except for the Windows 98 look, and that my Desktop appears to be complete useless now. If I try to click in a icon, the pointer of the mouse appear as loading, but nothing happens. When I try to right click, it frozen for 5 minutes before the menu appears.

My current Windows 7

It's not a urgent matter, I can use my computer like this, but it would be really better if I could have my Windows 7 back.

Just reboot. This occasionally happens to me but has never been a persistant issue. The service that looks after the pretty GUI fails to start sometimes.

Alternatively, have a look at your System Restore log. Maybe a Windows Update has installed a bad batch of video drivers or something similar.

  1. Open the Windows' Start menu and go to All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore.
  2. Select Choose a different restore point.
  3. Take a look at the descriptions and see what recently made changes to your computer. Windows Update or a new program could be the culprit.
  4. Select a restore point and press Next.

I'm not willing to actually press the Next button on my computer, but I'm sure you can work out the rest from here.

What appears to me that Aero styles has failed to load. I answered a similar question have a look at:
