You must be using something which requires Vista Basic theme like Java application, etc. Check when this problem occurs? It must be happening when you are browsing the net.

If you are talking about reverting back to msconfig changes, then NO. You'll have to restart the system to take affect.

Or the other way is to start each application manually listed in msconfig which you disabled.

Yes, its probably some program/software, Rather than re-booting, see if running the following command

rundll32.exe Dwmapi.dll,DwmEnableComposition

re-enables Aero, by flushing it. Simply copy-paste it in vistas start search bar and hit enter.
