In CompizConfig. If you don't have it installed, run


Code:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Help needed!

Ok I installed CompizConfig with the above code in terminal.
Install went through OK.

Then changed my desktop settings to 6 from 4 because I wanted 2 more desktops.
That went OK.

Then tried setting up the compiz desktop cube and rotate cube like I had on Karmic and it completely messed up Natty!

All I see now is a purple Natty screen with NO desktop icons and NO left side launcher bar and NO Top panel with date/time/volume control/shutdown buttons, etc., and nothing else on restart!
I can't do anything else!

What did I do wrong? And how can I get back to running Natty normal again like before putting Compiz in?

Can someone please HELP?....:(
How do I reverse what I did?

I created a 'new folder' on the blank purple screen and was able to get into my Home folders so all seems well inside but with no desktop icons I can't do anything or even get on the Internet with this PC. I am using another PC to post this.

think all you need to do is reset compiz

jerrrys,
Fooled around for a couple hours trying to reset compiz and basically got nowhere. Ended up simply doing a fresh reinstall that took 16 minutes and Natty appears back to normal again.
