Your "Drop shadows" are turned off.
Do this: Go to Start > Run > Type sysdm.cpl > OK > Advanced > Performance > Settings > Tick "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop" > Ok.
Good luck.

Have you tried simply clicking anywhere with no icons on the desktop to DESELECT them ?

Maybe you just selected everything on your desktop?
