Sometimes a reboot fixes this, but if not:

Right click Desktop > Personalize > and click the Theme control panel.

In the Theme drop-down menu, select Windows Vista and hit ok. This should restore your Aero.

Now right click Desktop > Personalize > and click Windows Color and Appearance control panel.

Down the bottom click "Open classic appearance properties for more color options".

Another box will pop up, where you can select the Color Scheme. Choose Windows Aero, and press OK. Once you have set Aero again, you may customise it further via the Personalize > Windows Color and Appearance control panel.
