Taskbar weird?

This computer came with Windows Vista when I got it a few years ago. Then maybe a year or so ago the taskbar turned in to the classic windows one like this:

(You may have to zoom in to see what I'm talking about...also notice the firefox window isn't how it should be in Vista)

If someone could help me change this back to how it was when I first got the computer it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I don't use Vista, but from memory .....

Right click the desktop

Select - Color and appearance

Open - Classic color and appearance properties for more color options

Choose Windows Aero and click Apply

Note that if you have a startup program that is not compatible with Windows Aero .... that could be the reason why it starts using "Classic" windows. e.g. I believe that Divx Web player does this

I got to the color and appearance window but my only options are Windows standard, Windows Classic, High Contrast White, High Contrast Black, High Contrast #2 and #1.

Please Help
