First time Ubuntu user is trying to utilize the full usage of this OS.

My problem:
I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu, I installed today. Noticed that the nvidia drivers were needed to run the 'desktop features' so I installed them. I was browsing the add/remove... and installed Compiz. It installed find but it looks like nothing had happened. under the system tab has no evidence of Compiz being installed.

What Ive done:
After searching these forums I have tried some things to no avail. Ive tried the Compiz check and all the checks were ok but the last one was skipped but it said that it could not read the graphics memory.
