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).
