"could not enable visual effects"

[Rave Gloves]

I had some graphics card problems which are now sorted but i am still unable to enable the Extra section in visual effects. The graphics driver is enabled and stuff, not sure what's wrong.

We need more info about your graphics card. Chipset, RAM, etc.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G98 [GeForce 9200M GS] (rev a1)

Ram is 2gb, it's always worked for me, just today everything has just mucked up..

Tried it, it takes me to my visual effects and when i select extra it just makes my screen flicker and it goes back to none
