HELP! Mouse Highlight Problem!

[litesung]

Hello, I am having a problem with my highlight on Windows 7. Normally, when you highlight things in Windows Vista/7, the area that is highlighted is blue and transparent.

Recently, I logged on today and I noticed that when I highlight on the desktop, it is just like in Windows XP with the dotted lines, and I was wondering how to fix that...

Here is a picture of what my situation looks like now.(This is on my AW computer)

I have called Dell support and they are unable to assist my alienware computer. I'd really like to fix this as soon as possible, as it is extremely annoying. I have also system restored my computer to an earlier date, however that did nothing and my problem was still there.

Here are my Operating System Specs:
Alienware m11x R2: Windows 7 Home Premium
HP Pavillion dv9700: Windows Vista Home Premium

I also asked on TechSupport forum, however I have not receieved any information yet...
