Display Properties window reverted to Win98

A while back I noticed my Display Properties window was the old "win98" style. I 
have done everything I can think of from replacing the desk.cpl to copying DLL's 
from an identical system that is working correctly and still can not get the Win2000 
display properties window to appear correctly. 

The tabs I have in my display window are:
Background (2 column, PATTERN on left, Wallpaper on right) - This is a win98 style 
tab.
Screen Saver
Appearance
Effects 
Settings

Tabs I should have:
Background (single column with "select a background picture") - Win2000 style
Screen Saver
Appearance
Web
Effects Settings.

In essence, my background tab is wrong, and I have no "Web" tab. 

Any ideas on what dll or cpl or anything that might control the display properties 
window so I can get it back to the win2000 style?
