The hardware devices drivers list three different types of drivers onboard including what appears to be the latest one with accelerated graphics capability. When I try to improve the visual effects to 'extra' it keeps telling me there's an error. Help! I've tried improving the effects with all three but still getting the error.

You activated the Recommended driver and rebooted?

Does the driver in Hardware Drivers show a green circle and says "This driver is Activated".

Which version number of Ubuntu are you using?

Lucid lynx and yes the green circle is activated. I reinstalled the os again and it recognizes the monitor brand and the correct res. It's just when I try to upgrade the effects to the bouncing window that it goes haywire.
