I don't have any previous versions of Autodesk products installed. I do, however, have Solidworks 2005, but would that affect it?
I suppose if you were doing a network install or specified an alternate installation path from the default, it's possible that the style files got installed, but Inventor can't find it... FYI, the default install path would be:
[drive]\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 10

I haven't found a default style file in the Inventor install (it would have a .styxml extension) which makes me wonder if the defaults are just embedded in the templates. If so, maybe just copying good default template files to the \Inventor 10\Templates directory would do the trick... I'm attaching the Standard.ipt (zipped) which you could try. Copy it to the Templates directory, start Inventor and create a new Standard (.ipt) file and see if it has the default styles associated. If so, I can send you the rest of the template files (email me).

BTW, in working on your problem I discovered there are a couple of style management tools in \Inventor 10\Bin that I didn't know about:
Style Library Manager, and
Style Management Wizard
I'm not sure if they would help with your problem, but they take care of one of my gripes with Inventor styles: it's a pain to manage styles (which bloat file sizes) on a file by file basis.
