I'd suspect that will be the issue...;)

did you turn on the Desktop Window Manager as Jafo said may be the problem on Reply 1? You need to turn the Manager back on, reboot and see if it correct the situation.

Turning this off turns off Aero. Not 100% sure but I think WindowBlinds needs Aero to be on and that if why on your specs it specifically advises you it's off.

What Hankers posted is correct. However there is another place to check that must be turned on. 

Just go t the search on the startmenu and type services. It should be the first one that pops up on the list click on it. Should be the same as the picture on the link provided. This will be option 2.

Make sure you have rebooted.
