Hi and do you mean updated or upgraded? Upgraded meaning from Intrepid 8.10 to Jaunty 9.04?
Have you tried starting compiz from the terminal?

Ok just open up a terminal, located under applications, accessories. Then enter the command compiz. If you receive any errors this may help.

Ok are you sure that the nvidia driver is working? You may try and use the nvidia settings and also have a look at compiz-check (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=799070).

under hardware drivers it says it is i did some checking and this pc doesn't come with a nvidia card that has really got me confused as to why the driver is installed.

ok compiz is working now this is how i fixed it

i took this line in bold

# blacklist based on the pci ids
# See http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Hardware/Blacklist for details
#T=" 1002:5954 1002:5854 1002:5955" # ati rs480
#T="$T 1002:4153" # ATI Rv350
#T="$T 8086:2982 8086:2992 8086:29a2 8086:2a02 8086:2a12" # intel 965

T="$T 8086:3577 8086:2562 " # Intel 830MG, 845G (LP: #259385)
BLACKLIST_PCIIDS="$T"

and made this

# blacklist based on the pci ids
