Solved Vista bad for administrators
i use the administrator user on my pc as my main user and i don't have exactly the same interface as other standard uses accounts. see attached photos.
by the way the one of the menu bar should have a preview of the window just in case it looked normal.

my start menu looks different c the pics

Ahh... By
standard I see you mean a scheme that is included in Vista, just not the Aero one. Anyhow, I'm pleased that your problem has been resolved.
