Sorry for making a new thread for this, but I couldn't find one that addressed this problem.
Yesterday I was fiddling with my compizconfig settings (just with the cube workplace switcher I think) and my screen went all screwy. Anywhere on the screen where I selected a window or opened a dialog box became black or a muddle of coloured pixels. Eventually my whole screen became dark and unusable. I rebooted and the same happened.
Figuring that this had something to do with compiz I booted off a live CD and deleted the compiz and compizconfig folders in /usr/lib (maybe not the best way, but I couldn't thin of any other). I booted up normally and that problem was fixed, but my window border was missing (I think I found how to fix that). But now when I try to reinstall compiz (after completely removing it with symatic). It happens again.
Any Idea what's causing this??
