office 2010 looks like old style

All of a sudden all my office products look like they have an old style. Also word documents open off screen and I have to move them back and it gets very annoying. Attached is how word looks. How can I set it back to the default 2010 look?

Thanks

It looks like your machine has switched to Windows 7 Basic rather than Aero.

Go to the desktop>right click> choose personalise

Are you on Basic? If so pick the theme called windows 7 and it should go back to normal

No, that is not the problem. It is only with Office and nothing else.

Can you please elaborate further?
What do you mean? Office looks like it has an old style. I attached the image. I am not using windows 7 basic
I just installed project and it has that old style too.
can you replicate it using a different user profile?
Same problem when I log in as a new user.
might be a display setting if not theme setting.

If the setting is related to color, then go to file - > Options - > General


Choose color scheme to 'Silver' and also check both the check boxes above that.
l33tf0b -  I do not have an option to change color 2

abdulalikhan - I already tried setting it to silver and to blue. Both look the same and do not solve the problem.
