WTF is going on here, reboot did nothing, neither did degaussing. Neither did shutting the monitor off. I came home it was fine this afternoon i came home tonight and it looks like this. Except my internet pages look normal, like theres nothing wrong, but my IE toolbar and favorites bars are all fucked up, but pages work normally.

Ok minus my desktop and main menu bars everything else works, even my fucking games run normally with no problem. WTF this is ridiculous i mean wtf, why do my games work. Itunes works normally too.
My IE bar is fucked, but pages are fine. Limewire works also, and games, everything but the desktop, taskbar and menus. wtf.

Do you have Window Blinds or any of those stupid programs that change how everything looks? I've noticed alot of people use them form the desktop thread.. those are notorious for messing things up, uninstall if you do.
