    Make sure you install the right drivers for your video card.

    Go to System>Administration>Additional Drivers(Called Restricted drivers before 10.10).
    Dual-boot Mint 10 and Windows 7

    Question Re: How to activate system/preferences/appearance Visual effects EXTRA ?

    How can i determine if card is capable? It run CMR05 on a windows pc as well as accelerated graphics why not on ubuntu? Defo a driver prob not card.
    There are similar threads with same problem but as their setup/ hardware and os version is different from mine -not applicable
    I definitely have nVidia 96 and nVidia 173 drivers installed.(173 as default)
    I have tried both with same result= low graphics mode
    nVidia still support this card but i can not download from site directly as browser displays text and actually says i need to change firefox settings to download and not view files. How?

    Help
