I'd recommend that you run the SharePoint config utility on each wfe & app server in your farm to see if that cleans it up. You can run it from:

Start > All Programs > Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products > SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration

  • or -

from the command-line:

NOTE: psconfig.exe can be found in Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\bin on the drive where you installed SharePoint.
